| Family | Strombidae |
| Name | Macrostrombus costatus - SUPERB PEACH-PINK GIANT , Gmelin, 1791 |
| Size | 165 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Brazil |
| Note | An OUTSTANDING GIANT specimen of the Brazilian form – the most beautiful incarnation of the species – exhibiting spectacular pastel peach-pink. Exemplary quality for such an old age giant. Retention of enormous original operculum. Definitely for the Strombidae specialist, or collector of outstanding BIG shells. A striking showpiece for the top of the cabinet, or for a shell museum. NOTE: This large, heavy shell requires a very large parcel for adequate protection, but I will round down postage to anywhere in the world to 45 EUR. Please factor this cost when bidding. Data: Off Camocim, Ceará, Brazil; upon sand substrate; 25-35 m; lobster nets; 1998. Size: 165 mm. Grading: Fine+++; w/o. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
