Note

F++ Good size well cleaned specimen. Very nice sculpture. Two small holes as marked by green arrow, else perfect. The mouth plates (peristome plate) are fully intact (rare). The test is thin and easily broken for this deep water species during trawling. Trawled by fishing boat in 150-200m deep, 20 Dec 2007. Not a perfect specimen but if you don't mind the very small holes, it is still a very lovely specimen with the rare mouth plates intact. Starting at a very low price to give this specimen a chance to rest in the next good home. A smaller but perfect specimen of this species was sold in March auction for 106€. It is a bargain deal for this specimen at this low starting price.
