| Family | Patellidae |
| Name | Patella mexicana - YELLOW RING AROUND WOW!! |
| Size | 169 mm |
| Locality | Punta Carrizal, Colima, Mexico. |
| Note | FIRST TIME I FOUND A YELLOW RING AROUND THE LIP IN THE VENTRAL SIDE, WITH SOME RED- BROWN SPOTS WOW!!
LONG CRAZY FORM!! Very nice natural conditions specimen and beautiful for the species. VERY RARE NOWADAYS!! On the top as you can see all natural conditions. Very interesting specimen. Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They look for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. Whit 169mm this is a very big and old specimen for the species and at this size its usually eroded and has pin holes, never gem, but this is about as good as they come. Some tiny chip in lip as usual. The ventral side is just fresh and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing quality!!!Found at night attached to the stones at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Punta el Carrizal, Colima, Mexico. March 2017, Collected by Eduardo Amador Moreno. Lets start with 2 euro Good luck!!!! |
