| Item | # 0004193565 | | Family | Cardiidae | | Name | Vasticardium cf. mindanense - MAGNIFICENT GIANT , Reeve, 1844 |
| Size | 105 mm |
| Locality | Philippines |
| Note | A SPECTACULAR GIANT of an undetermined Vasticardium species – quite possibly mindanense – exhibiting particularly beautiful colour: delicate lavender; pale blue; white; and yellowish olive. When Vasticardia attain this level of advanced age and size, their identity may become difficult to ascertain. The early stage growth of this specimen conforms well with mindanense, yet, as the Vasticardium complex is in disarray, I leave it to an advanced Cardiidae specialist to determine its ultimate taxonomic placement. Definitely for the Cardiidae specialist, or collector of giant-sized shells. Data: Off northern coast of Poblacion, Biri, Northern Samar, Samar, Eastern Visayas, Philippines; upon coral sand/rubble substrate; 10-15 m; dived; 2010. Size: c. 105 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
