Muracypraea mus bicornis f. donmoorei - LARGE , Petuch 1979
Size
64.0 mm
Locality
El Pico, Venezuela
Note
Remarkable form, patterning and coloration complement this large specimen. Moderate nacre gloss with perfect extremities and distinctive lateral wall intricate patterning. Large bicornis with an excellent size/weight ratio (48.7g), showing a typical single tubercule on the dorsum and a notable bright orange blotch on the high gloss base. The pattern on this shell is nothing short of 3D magic. In particular, the tiger/leopard mix of spots and elongated maculae gracing the antique white lateral walls is absolutely lovely. The shell was Scuba diver collected on a night dive at 15 meters while resting in a rock crevice surrounded by grass off El Pico, Venezuela in 2012. The specimen has some minor imperfections including a shallow anterior ramp wobble and negligible hard to see white flecks on the anterior extremity. Grade: F+++.
