| Item | # 0004003129 | | Family | ECHINOIDEA | | Name | Arbacia spatuligera - Very Rare-Hard to Obtain , (Valenciennes, 1846) |
| Size | 47.7 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One nice specimen (but with some defects), of the very rare and hard to get(I usually obtain about 4-7 specimens per year) subtidal urchin Arbacia spatuligera. This species is naturally rare, and they live from 20 m up to about 200 m in northern Chile, however, most of them are obtained from about 35 to 70 m depth, in rocky outcrops. This specimen was collected alive in prospective fisheries on northern Chile at 30-35 fathoms, and it is in very good condition for the species, except that this one has two small holes in the side of the test, as can be see in the images (marked in red in the oral view).
This is the test, denuded, and it was lightly cleaned with hand soap, but still can be cleaned further with some patience. This specimen retain its soft parts dry inside the shell and also its aristotle's lamp intact. As this specimen has damages I have put a 1 euro start price for it: you can put the final price! |
