Note

FORMIDABE CREAM BROWNISH COLORS WITH LIGHT BANDING PATTERN!! Spire really elongated with elegant micro lines decoration and intact apex. Extremely thick colossal lip with curved siphon going inside the shell, large seldom seen tents pattern near lip and shiny cream color all around. Very rare species to obtain and to get virtually. Outer lip not that shiny anymore but superb nice and thick lip and there is a worm microscopic hole around the shoulder part almost lost, not really detracting the beauty of this rare population in Barra de Navidad now absent and never found again. F++-F+++. A unique opportunity to obtain these once-in-a-lifetime rarity. This species has never been found again in the same area, offshore from Barra de Navidad. Perhaps they are now living at greater depths or are extinct. Every year a few Shrimp boats are coming to this Region looking for shrimps but they have never found again this population. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this impossible to get population nowadays. For advancer collectors. Dredged by shrimp boats in mud at a depth of between 60m and 80m. A few Miles offshore from Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. February 1995. Value for this seldom seen species with impressive pattern and unique cream shiny colors from the 90`s: 60-75 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
