THE AUCTIONS
Auctions since our return took off at once with great enthusiasm and many of theexcellent and carefully chosen shells obtained considerable prices consolidating the valueof collections worldwide
Most auctions sold out but occasionally one or two shells remained unsold which isless than 9 or 5 of the offer So this number of sold items is fantastic when compared tomost auctions in the fields of collectibles and arts
A few comments on the auction of last week
Exceptionally we could offer a well documented Chiton the rare Acanthochitonaleopoldi an obscure small Chiton which few have ever heard about As for me this was mysecond encounter with this species after having figured the specimen of the BrunoAnseeuw collection in the PMM books
This 117 mm long A leopoldi reached 91 euro after 15 bids In fact the second most bidded shell of the auction
11232017 httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=166
httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=166 39
From the village of Yoff northern Dakar this magnificent banded mercator one of the bestYoff shells of this very particular form Connoisseurs were bidding strongly on this marvel itis the most bidded shell with 19 bids and it reached the price of 180 euro which is definitely
a record for this particular form
Here two pieces which both belong to some of the rarest shells on the planet - incollections we mean - and which both belong to semi-popular families On the left theCoralliophila sertata the first time we see a real specimen of this species and so rare thatwe only could find one drawing in the extensive literature at our disposal On the right theCycloscala crenulata dragonella possibly a good species dragonella later studies willlikely point to that Both pieces despite their small sizes went over 100 euro each

httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=166 49
A set of two magnificent banksii the best out of many dozens caught recently north ofZamboanga went for only 100 euro Proof that once in a while auctions lead to finebargains Definitely these wonderful shells will procure a lifelong pleasure to the new owner
A RARE WISE VOICE IN A WORLD OF DISINFORMATION AND WRONG VALUES
As nature lovers and biodocumentalists we all follow with interest the fantasticachievements of Sir David Attenborough of which we are great admirers DavidAttenborough is a fossil collector for decades and he has seen the change of a world wherenatural history collecting was free to a world where our possibilities of collecting becomemore restricted year after year
He made one documentary on this change which is also positive in some ways butoften also destructive for science and limiting the possibilities of the documentation of ourplanet
Here a rare text where he comments on the laws of collecting of fossils and eggs

httpswwwconchologybenewsbodyphpid=166 89
Out of 400 m deep water between Mactan and Olango Island on the northern tip ofboth Islands this Conus olangoensis easy to recognize as it looks like a geeraertsi withoutthe ribs It is the rarest of the trio geeraertsi gattegnoi olangoensis and the deepest livingone Look how it was the home for a whole family of Capulus A competitive not so easyworld down there
And shortly after meeting the fisherman on top of this email we dived at the southerntip of Banacon Island where at 12 m we found a patch of about 50 square meters of deadcoral from old dynamite fishing This dead coral was covered with a layer of 10 cm thickalgae a pollution of nearby algae farming Removing the algae with our knives and diggingin the dead coral branches we found an undescribed species of Globivenus a splendidspecies of Cardita the Vasticardium papuensis from the last auction and a dozen Periglyptacorbis a rather uncommon species All these were buried about 10-15 cm and livingbetween the branches of dead coral Amazing The shell shown here is the only corbis with avery bright orange interior
