CYPRAEA DONMOOREI, 57MM, COLOMBIA. THIS SHELL MIGHT SEEM A LITTLE PRICEY FOR EBAY BUT IT IS AN INCREDIBLE SPECIMEN AND I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY. VERY LARGE AND REALLY EXCEPTIONAL PATTERN. SUPER DARK. THIS IS A REAL BEAUTY. F+++ CONDITOIN. ONLY THE MOST MINUTE OF SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS. SO MINUTE INFACT THAT I SAW SOMETHING A MINUTE AGO AND CANT FIND THE IMPERFECTION NOW...MAYBE IT WAS JUST DUST. ANYWAY, A FABULOUS PIECE. FULL COLLECTION DATA

In fish trawl, 15-18m. White dorsum, 1 node on dorsum.This has to be one of the strangest specimens of Cypraea mus that we've come across. And it is also about the smallest one that we've ever had. The pale dorsum is most unusual and I don't recall ever seeing another one quite like it. The shell is in perfect condition. Those blue spots that you see in the brown streaky pattern near the posterior part of the dorsum are actually there but they are exaggerated by the light from our scanner. The shell was part of the Esmond B. Martin Cypraea Collection.
