Pygmaeocidaris prionigera - Ultra Rare - Very Best , A. Agassiz, 1879
Size
15.1 mm
Locality
Taiwan, off Hualien
Note
GEM+ Denuded. Ultra rare extremely deep water top bizarre species which virtually not available to any collector. Only exist in museum/scientific institution and a few on private collection. You can hardly even find one photo of this species online, which is truly how rare this species is. The extreme depth it lives require special method operated by only scientific research boat to collect it. Live taken and perfectly cleaned with apical disc and periproctal plate fully intact. The tubercles at the aboral are unique "spike-like" and fully intact too. This specimen is a fully mature large size adult reaching almost the maximum size and in absolute perfect gem condition without any hole or defect. Top best specimen. Taken by scientific research boat "Ocean Researcher 1" in 2268m deep, 16 June 2005 during one of the scientific research projects. Chance of a life time if you are serious in Echinoidea. This is my only and very last available specimen. No private offer is accepted.
