Impressive large Charonia variegata personally collected in deep water off the Dry Tortugas, Florida. This specimen was trap collected during commercial lobster fishing aboard my vessel, F/V AVA PILAR — fully documented locality, depth, and collector provenance valued by serious collectors.

 

SPECIMEN DATA

Family: Charoniidae

Large authentic Gulf specimen with complete field data. Deep-water trap-collected Tritons from the Tortugas area are increasingly sought after due to limited availability and documented provenance.

 

CONDITION

Very good collector specimen with strong pattern, solid structure, and natural gloss. As typical with trap-collected deep-water material, minor trap or deck handling marks may be present — normal for legitimately collected working-fishery specimens. Please review photos carefully as they are part of the description.

 

SAFE SHIPPING

Professionally packed using suspension-style protection, individually wrapped, and securely boxed. Tracking always provided. I pack shells the same way I expect to receive them.
