| Family | Turbinidae |
| Name | Astrea olivacea - GREEN-BROWNISH!!!!!!!!!! |
| Size | 40 x 60.6 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Playa El Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico |
| Note | RARE!!! Unique opportunity to get this unique species. The single most striking feature is a brilliant spot of reddish-orange at the base of the umbilical pit which is bordered by a dark brown to black outer edge. And this case is orange with some white spot and black ring WOOOW!!!. I was looking this species for years!! I know there are some population in north of Mexico and south in Oaxaca but between, it could be the only existing population. In fact the population is only living between 50 square meters in a rocky beach, very small place, between 1 and 1.5m deep. I was so lucky to find them only because I found one fresh dead 10 year ago. So I was sure they are somewhere there. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh GREEN colours, awesome sculpture and the most impressive is the GREEN background and brown spots colors all around. For serious collector and lovers of especial and rare species. Scars of life and grow marks lost in the pattern and sculpture almost invisible for the eyes. Not detracting the beauty of this fresh seldom seen species in Mexico. F+++. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 1.5m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2022 . By Eduardo Amador Moreno and Ricardo E. Amador Gallegos "COLO". Value for this rarity: 85-100 euro. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
