Arbacia nigra Very Nice, Selected

Item# 0003890546
FamilyECHINOIDEA
NameArbacia nigra - Very Nice, Selected , (Molina, 1782)
Size62 mm
LocalityCaldera, northern Chile
NoteOne very nice, selected, and colorful specimen of Arbacia nigra (formerly known as Tetrapygus niger), an endemic urchin of Chile and PerĂº. This is only the test (skeleton), without spines, from a specimen washed ashore alive at a beach in northern Chile. These tests are the skeletal structure of the sea urchins which in living specimens contain their soft parts and support their spines. They are very colorful, having tests with pink, purple and bluish parts, sometimes having a single color or different combinations of colors. Note that these specimens were cleaned only with soft brushes, although in several cleaning phases, so they may need some further detailed cleaning to reveal in some cases their deep purple colour. I am offering this particularly specimen at a very low initial price due to the tiny damages in the border of the peristome. You can put the final price!!
