| Item | # 0004024192 | | Family | Turbinidae | | Name | Astraea olivacea - SPECIAL PATTERN WOOOW!!! |
| Size | 36 x 54.2 mm, w/o |
| Locality | EL Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | SPECIAL AXIAL BANDINDG PATTERN WOOOOW!! Spiny shoulder lip with special and unique spotted crazy pattern all around the ventral side is coming with a black middle umbilical pit with special orange-reddish coloration. The aperture is coming with great pearly effect and original unique thick white operculum. Elevated conic shape with fully pattern in the spire region. Unique opportunity to get this unique rare species with great spire, lip, operculum, dark dots around, banded, green elegant fresh colors and very clear detailed structure. This elegant specimen is coming with rough conditions as usual with clear erosion in the spire zone and some micro lost scars of life, not really harming this beauty. F++. I know there are some small populations registered for Baja California Sur( La Paz + Pacific), Sinaloa (Mazatlán), Nayarit (Punta de Mita), Guerrero (Acapulco) and Oaxaca (Salina Cruz) But no In Jalisco State registered before, this is one of the first populations ever found in hundreds of kilometers of Coastline. In fact the population is only living between 50 square meters in a rocky beach, very small place, between 1 and 1.5m deep. I was so lucky to find them only because I found one fresh dead many years ago. So I was sure they are somewhere there. Seldom seen in collections and for sure in the market with so fresh deep colors, awesome sculpture and impressive conditions. For advancer collectors and lovers of special and rare species. Found attached on big stones about 1 to 2m deep Playa el Tecuan, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2025. Value for this really rare species endemic from Mexico with the most unique special banded pattern : 45-50 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC. |
