Pteropurpura macroptera RARE ALBINISTIC
43.5 mm     Monterey, California     154,00 €
Item# 0003589332
FamilyMuricidae
NamePteropurpura macroptera - RARE ALBINISTIC , Deshayes 1839
Size43.5 mm, w/o
LocalityMonterey, California
NoteExtremely rare albinistic variation of this difficult to find California murex. The shell shows excellent winged varices and with notable varix flanges. Although the shell shows the typical brown pigmentation on two spire nodules and a dampened light brown hue on the dorsum of the leading wing, the lack of pigmentation in the majority of the specimen is amazing. The smaller specimen has a classic and beautiful display of axial symmetry, excellent spire and siphonal canal.....making it a highly valuable specimen. Collected by Scuba diver at 13-14 meters off the United States Coast Guard Breakwater, Monterey, California in 5/2011. The shell shows a worn protoconch and negligible attrition of the thin leading and dorsal varices. Grade: F+++.
