All auctions / Ancient Art / Exclusive collector's spiny snail: Chicoreus miyokoae (55 mm
Scientific name: Chicoreus miyokoae (Kosuge, 1979) – previously often classified as Pterynotus loebbeckei ssp. miyokoae. Internationally highly valued as Miyoko Murex. Origin & Localities: Philippines; this exquisite piece comes from the deep-water zones around Balut Island (Mindanao) or from the Gulf of Davao. These deep-sea islands are world-famous for recovering these spectacular muricids using special deep-sea nets (tangle nets). Habitat: A true deep-sea dweller. The species lives on mud, sand, and rocky substrates at substantial depths of 150 to 250 meters on the edge of underwater slopes. Size & Condition: 55 mm – An excellent, fully mature cabinet-size for this extremely delicate species. Condition GEM (Absolute museum and top-quality): For deep-sea spindle snails an absolute rarity, as the wing-like, delicate fronds (varices) are often damaged during capture. This piece possesses perfectly intact, wavy-winged fronds, a flawlessly developed siphonal canal, and an undamaged, delicate aperture without any breaks. The typically pale pink to salmon-orange pigmentation is perfectly preserved. SKU Oberdiek Pterynotus loebbeckei 50
