Item# 0004117098
FamilyHarpidae
NameHarpa crenata - UNIQUE RARE SPINY FORM!! , Swainson, 1822
Size58.1 mm
LocalityOffshore Barra de Navidad,Mexico
NoteEXCEPTIONAL SPINY AND WIDE SHOULDER UNIQUE SHAPE!! Fantastic and incredible micro brown tents pattern WOOOOW!! The shell presents a Compact short body with elevated dorsum. This unique population maintains a broad shape with a clear elevation in the shoulder and spire with spiny conditions. Fully with banding pattern form with elegant crazy brown tents designs all around and a few large brown spots in the ventral side. Spiny shoulder spire, really special and exclusive for the population only. It has wide-thick, parallel axial ribs sloping toward the base, giving it a harp-like appearance, hence its common name. A unique opportunity to obtain these once-in-a-lifetime beauties. This species has never been found again in the same area, offshore from Barra de Navidad. Perhaps they are now living at greater depths or are extinct. Every year a few Shrimp boats are coming to this Region looking for shrimps but they have never found again this population of Harpa's. Glossy ventral side. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this impossible to get population nowadays. There is a kind of scar between the axial rib, otherwise Gem and not really detracting this beauty. Dredged by shrimp boats in mud at a depth of between 45m and 65m. A few Miles offshore from Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. February 1995 and still superb coloration. Value for this special multiple brown tents pattern, crazy spiny spire form, multiple ribs and globose form: 50-60 euros or more. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
