You are admiring a fantastic specimen, a Pterynotus elongatus (Lightfoot, 1786), w/operculum & measuring quite large at 86.4mm and graded F++/Gem...an absolutely incredible form with beautifully flared varices & an outstanding color pattern is displayed...an exceptional, deep H2O specimen & about as perfect a specimen as I have ever seen. This beauty was collected in tangle nets at 150-250m off Olango Island, Cebu, Philippines. A member of the Muricidae family & an outstanding addition for your collection. Thank you for visiting our store this afternoon...and an excellent choice, too.
