Item | # 0002177975 |
Family | Cypraeidae |
Name | Cypraea tigris , Linnaeus, 1758 |
Size | 78.8 mm |
Locality | New Caledonia |
Note | New Caledonia. F++/Gem. Awesome specimen. This is a classic "niger" tiger with red overcast from New Caledonia. The phenomenon of nigerity is not all cowries expressed in the blackening of shell. In two species (annulus and tigris) it is expressed in redness. In the last decade, due to the active collection of niger, many species have become rare and are now available only from old collections. I have not seen fresh specimens of tigers from New Caledonia. I bought this shell many years ago for 400 euros in Paris Shell Show.
