Cypraea tigris MAGNIFICENT HUMPBACK
99.15 mm     Olongo Is, Philippines     1,00 €
Item# 0004061913
FamilyCypraeidae
NameCypraea tigris - MAGNIFICENT HUMPBACK , 180 GRAMS !
Size99.15 mm
LocalityOlongo Is, Philippines
NoteMAGNIFICENT HUMPBACK......One of only a handful of tigris I have rated best of best. What grabs your attention immediately as you seize this beauty is the humped body and extreme weight to size ratio (180grams). Then of course there's the stunning colours, along with crisp-black spotting over the entire upper deck, and a most discernible mantle line. And, if that's not enough, there's the amazing monster teeth more reminiscent of a 130mm tigris schilderiana. Ultra-mature. Ultra-inflated. Ultra-callous. Ultra-humped. One just doesn't see these attributes anymore, in this wonderful condition, only from an old advanced collection. This is a keeper and a standout in any tigris lineup. DON'T MISS! Grade: F+++/Gem. Provenance: from my own collection. By diver; 15m; off Olongo Island, Philippines.
