F+++. This is a very SLENDER C. sazanka in the YELLOW form. Among the yellow ones, it is the largest piece we ever got (Conchology). Removing the periostracum, we discovered a very delicate beauty with a fine pointillé pattern. The supplier thought it was a ”new species” because of the unusual looks of this sazanka. HYPOTYPE in the twin books: 1000 Shells, exceptionals from the Philippines.
Philippines. Balut Island. Tangle nets, 100-150 m. November 2011.
