| Family | Patellidae |
| Name | Patella mexicana - CLEANED WITH ULTRASONIC! |
| Size | 168 mm |
| Locality | Punta Carrizal, Colima, Mexico. |
| Note | SO LOOKS WHEN YOU CLEAN ONE!! Very carefully cleaned with ultrasonic. I took s me about 3 hours to clean this wonderful shell. VERY RARE NOWADAYS!! On the top as you can see some several pin hole as usual for the size. A few in collection with this size and cleaned. 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 168mm 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. One chip i repair a little after cleaning. 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!!!! |
