Lot 570: A Collection of Assorted Marine Seashells and Natural History Specimens

A diverse assortment of marine gastropod shells and natural history specimens, housed within a cardboard storage box. The collection includes a large, heavily calcified conical shell, likely of the Trochidae family (such as Trochus or Tectus), and several large conch-type shells from the Strombidae family. Two shallow cardboard trays contain smaller specimens, including numerous small white marine snails, possibly of the Nassariidae family, alongside various spiral whelks and turret-shaped shells. A separate small, vintage card box contains a dried fan-shaped specimen, possibly a section of horny coral (Gorgonian) or a large marine egg case. The small blue and white box is a repurposed commercial container featuring a circular logo with the letters MW and the text PHONE 72361. The lot does not include scientific locality data or provenance labels.
