Astralium tentorium Giant! Rare colour!
51.4 x 46.8 mm     Rottnest Island, West Australia     67,00 €
Item# 0004264106
FamilyTurbinidae
NameAstralium tentorium - Giant! Rare colour! , (Thiele, 1930)
Size51.4 x 46.8 mm, w/o
LocalityRottnest Island, West Australia
NoteRare sky blue operculum form which is much more uncommon than the typical sapphire blue seen in this species. I have personally only collected a handful of specimens with this shade of operculum colour. Also an unusually shaped specimen that is taller than it is wide, with the spire height being greater than its base diameter. This species is notoriously difficult to find good specimens of due to living in rough, shallow water and being very prone to marine growths/encrustations. The majority of specimens are all extremely worn, with the shells original flower-like structure being almost completely worn away. The specimen offered here is almost perfect, with the protoconch and original structure intact, F+++
