Spondylus senegalensis Cf. GEM
109 mm     Canary Islands     124,00 €
Item# 0004123815
FamilySpondylidae
NameSpondylus senegalensis - Cf. GEM , Schreibers, 1793
Size109 mm
LocalityCanary Islands
NoteGEM specimen of Spondylus senegalensis sensu regional Canary Islands usage; identification provisional. Specimen from Tenerife, Canary Islands, West Africa. Some specialists have noted similarities to the Brazilian Spondylus tenuis Schreibers, 1793 concept; Spondylus ictericus Reeve, 1856 is currently regarded as an unaccepted junior subjective synonym of S. tenuis. Neither name, however, is reflected in the prevailing local Canary Islands authority checklists, which continue to treat this form under S. senegalensis. Collected in February 2025 at 22 m depth on volcanic cliff habitat, by local diver. Shell with dusky rose-red coloration, marked by paler radial bands; interior white. Lid 94 mm; overall specimen length 109 mm. Hinge and ligament fully intact; apertural lip and spination appearing exceptionally well preserved overall. No evident boreholes observed. Particularly notable for the distinctly brush-like spination, with both the peripheral and main spines remaining slender and thorn-like rather than expanded into flattened, fan-like projections.
