South of Walvis Bay, Namibia Trawled at 350 - 450 meters deep
Size - Grade: 35,17 mm - F++
Remarks:
Good shell with some minor damage. Some erosion and bore damage on the shell.
Note: This set is the real Aporrhais pesgallinae Barnard, 1963. Mostly confused with Aporrhais elegantissima Parenzan, 1970 wich has a different color and a different geographical distribution. The reason of the revalidation of the name A. elegantissima was because A. pesgallinae is a deepsea species, mostly found around 400 to 450 meters deep in Namibia. There is a geographical barier between Namibia and Angola at this depth where the larvae from A. pesgallinae and A. elegantissima can't cross.
