Description

Collected in January 2020 among the leaf litter in the humid Andean forest at an altitude of 1650 meters above sea level by locals. Deforestation in the Colombian Andes have made these shells increasingly rare and difficult to find. A minor peck below the spire repaired by the animal. Over all a nice quality for this hard to get species!
