Item | # 0002161414 | Family | Conidae | Name | Conus lucidus - GALAPAGOS FORM , Wood, 1828 |
Size | 21.7 mm |
Locality | Galapagos Islands |
Note | An exquisite specimen, from the very 'old days' of collecting, of the now extremely difficult to obtain and sought after Galapagos form of this diminutive, beautiful species. Superbly formed, highly geometric pattern. Its small island habitat, (only 24 sq km), lies at the centre of the Galapagos archipelago, and is now incorporated within the Galapagos Islands Marine Reserve, and no fresh specimens will be available in future. Now obtainable only from choice old collections. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. The BEST of the best for the Conidae specialist. Size: 21.7 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Isla Santa Fe, Galapagos Islands, Galapagos Province, Ecuador; upon sand/rubble substrate; 12 m; dredged; 1968. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
