Good Quality for such a Rough Species which is Exceptional for Shells living in shallow water Shipwrecks.
The Continuous Rusting of the metal hulls of Old Sunken Ships Seeping into such Unique Shallow water Habitats allows the Animal to absorb the Iron Oxide Circulating in the enclosed Water into their enamel and turns their shells into Bright Red or Yellow depending on the Quantity and Type of Rust Absorb.
This is the typical Golden Yellow Rusty Stercoraria. No Longer Collected and only Coming out from Old Vintage Collection.
