Pecten Collection - Hugh Morrison
- by Jose Coltro, June 2005
In June 2005 I had the opportunity
to visit Hugh Morrison in Perth, Western Australia. Besides to be
a very important Australian dealer he is a Pecten lover, and his
collection is probably one of the most complete in the world.
He keeps all his Pectens in well protected drawers covered with
glass in a large shell cabinet.
He is always looking for new species, color variations, special
sizes, etc. His most prized species is a huge and perfect Annachlamys
iredalei (Powell, 1958). But he has some others rarities, like Oppenheimopecten
galapagensis (Gray, 1959), orange Nodipecten magnificus (Sowerby,
1835), among other very beautiful shells. His Western Australian
collection is complete and he found a new species which will be
described very soon.
