A MAGNIFICENT ARCANA FROM CALIFORNIA. Collected more than half a century ago, this chama ended up in the material of the famous Tom Rice. The semi-transparent condition is amazing and really attractive. This shell is 66 years old and not often found in collections worldwide. Increasingly rare due to collection restrictions and the few collectors doing field work in this region. Very attractive.
United States of America. California. Orange Country. Anaheim Bay. Attached to pilings. 19 February 1958. Ex. collection T. Rice.
