| Name | Dolium antillarum brasiliana - SUPERB SPECIMEN!!! , Mörch, 1877 |
| Size | 165 mm |
| Locality | Brazil |
| Note | from Cape Marta, Santa Catarina, Brazil at 125m depth
MATURE & PERFECT MARGIN RARE!!
Just imagine: this inflated and rather delicate shell which did contain a huge and massive animal was recovered from the seafloor below 100 meters depth! No wonder that commercial pieces need a lot of manicuring before they are ready to be sold. This however is a different shell and you can rest assured that it is the ultimate piece to represent the species for a connoisseur collection simply because it is preserved undamaged and in genuine all natural condition. Such a specimen of very beautiful color and perfectly grown without any bites or lines is extremely rare and valuable. Quite impossible to find another piece of such high standing, with very heavy and massive lip which is triangular and deeply folded (a detail which you will find fully documented on my pictures), a very strange and fascinating sight indeed. There are only very few pieces with mature lips in European collections, and this is one of them.
