| Item | # 0003716216 | | Family | Turbinidae | | Name | Astraea olivacea - BROWNISH |
| Size | 43.3 x 60.2 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico |
| Note | SPECIAL BROWN - GREEN COLOR FORM!!! 43.3mm high x 60.2mm wide!! The best sculpture combined with pattern and extra dark dots WOOOW!! Unique opportunity to get this unique rare species with great apex, spire, lip, operculum, dark dots around, banded, green-brown fresh colors, very clear detailed structure and great conditions for the 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 black outer edge, amazing!! I was looking this species for years!! I know there are some small populations registered for Baja California Sur( La Paz + Pacific), Sinaloa (Mazatlán), Nayarit (Punta de Mita), Guerrero (Acapulco) and Oaxaca (Salina Cruz) But no In Jalisco State registered before, this is the first population ever found in hundreds of kilometers of Coastline. 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 many years ago. So I was sure they are somewhere there. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh deep colors, awesome sculpture and impressive conditions. For advancer collectors and lovers of special and rare species. Some minor imperfections like tiny grow marks near lip, not detracting the beauty of this fresh seldom seen species in Mexico. F+++. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2025. Value for this really rare species endemic from Mexico with the most great brown-green color combination : 80-100 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC. |
