| Item | # 0003914611 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Cypraea argus - 'P'ERSONALISED GIANT , Linnaeus, 1758 |
| Size | 93.8 mm |
| Locality | Philippines |
| Note | Whether a Cypraeidae specialist, or admirer of outstanding, ‘out of the ordinary’ seashells, if your name begins with ‘P’, or should this letter hold any significance for you, then this outstanding GIANT will exercise a special appeal. In a highly unlikely phenomenon, Nature has fashioned the precise image of an upper-case ‘P’. Framed within a dorsal macula, the letter is strongly reminiscent of the hallmark upon a fine old piece of English silver. Quite apart from exhibiting this remarkable feature, the specimen is EXCEPTIONAL in every respect: size; colour; pattern; maturity; and quality. A standout, 'P'ERSONALISED argus for the Cypraeidae connoisseur. Data: Off Samar, Eastern Visayas, Philippines; upon coral reef substrate, within coral cave upon reef wall, at night; 10-30 m; dived; December 2009. Size: 93.8 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
