| Item | # 0003785993 |
| Family | Conidae |
| Name | Conus (Purpuriconus) edwardpauli - EXTREMELY RARE , Petuch, 1998 |
| Size | 25 mm |
| Locality | Isla Colón, East Panamá |
| Note | This is one of the rarest Caribbean Cone species, it has been almost completely absent from the market ever since its description, and I know of less than 10 specimens in private collections. There have been less available specimens of this species for sale than of great Caribbean rarities like Atlanticonus ritae, so acquiring a specimen of this species is an extremely rare opportunity that is unlikely to repeat itself in a very long time.
This specimen in particular happens to resemble the blue paratype pictured in the description paper of this species in La Conchiglia, back in 1998. And it is also bigger than the holotype.
I have specialized my collection in Caribbean Conidae for the last 5 years, and dedicated myself to acquiring a lot of rare species during this time, this is one of those gems from my personal collection.
It was found dead among shell and coral rubble while snorkeling at around 2m deep, back in 2012. |
