Macrocypraea cervus GIANT  
141.83 mm Celestún, Yucatan, Mexico 150,00 € |
|
| Item | # 0003450154 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Macrocypraea cervus - GIANT , (Linnaeus, 1771) |
| Size | 141.83 mm |
| Locality | Celestún, Yucatan, Mexico |
| Note | The first one over 140mm I have obtained in a while, always rare in this size range.
This one is in an interesting growth stage, because the ventrum is fully developed, and the color pattern of the ventrum is only partially developed, so it has a mix of sub-adult and adult colors.
Overall it is in nice condition, with a perfect siphonal canal on both ends, and a very clean ventrum. The only significant condition detail to point out is a growth scar on the right side of the ventrum, which can be seen in the pictures.
A great opportunity for those who have been wanting to add a giant Yucatan Cowrie to their collection.
Collected alive by local Yucatan divers via scuba diving at 20m deep, on rocks, 27 miles offshore. Collected in the 14th of this month. |
