Mauritia mauritiana hawaiiensis CHIEF OF THE REEF
101.4 mm     East Shore, Oahu, Hawaii     60,00 €
Item# 0004024849
FamilyCypraeidae
NameMauritia mauritiana hawaiiensis - CHIEF OF THE REEF , Linnaeus 1758
Size101.4 mm
LocalityEast Shore, Oahu, Hawaii
NoteLarge, heavy and super-glazed nacre with battle scars from the tough life between crashing waves in the intertidfal zone and living on a rugged lava reef. Amazing shell, heavier than a rock, triple thick margins and an unreal dark color collage dorsally (177.5 grams). The pigmentation and the dark veil covering years of bashing and prestigeous scars from lava rocks certainly earns the shell the "Chief of the Reef" award. A one of a kind shell, with perfect extremities and thick nacre glosss. Nabbed at night by Scuba diver at 4-6 meters on lava boulders off East Shore, Oahu, Hawaii in 11/2020. The humpy exhibits dorsum damage concavities, injury areas and craters all beautifully glossed and thickly glazed over by a self-repairing "reef chief" veteran. Grade: F++/F+++.
