| Item | # 0003313891 | | Family | Tonnidae | | Name | Malea ringens - CREAMY SPECIAL BASE !!!! |
| Size | 101.1 mm |
| Locality | Los Angeles Locos, Jalisco, Mex. |
| Note | CREAMY SPECIAL BASE COLOR WOOOW!!! With 101.1mm this is a real fully adult with thick lip, awesome columellar lip , top siphon and great elevated ribs all around making of this an unique and magnificent piece of art. Elevated dorsum with elegant shape. Impressive sculpture , just the best of the best for the species. Some grow marks between lip and siphon columella side not really detracting the beauty of this seldom seen species. F+++ F++. Searching for these mysterious creatures for years there are some rare cases among them. It seems that most people know only the same typical Malea ringens, but there is variability in colors, sculptures, shapes and sizes. I have found dwarf populations and others where individuals are giants. For advancer collectors. The best of the best for the species. One of my favorite big shells in the pacific with so unique form and sculpture compare with all Tonas species and the biggest of the Maleas species. They are most night active , They are rarely hunting during the day. Hart to find in the day because they are most complete buried. Superb piece!!! Found buried in sand under huge platforms about 5m deep. Near La Vena, Los Angeles Locos, Bahia de Tenacatita, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2023. Value for this unique fresh cream base beautiful color: 50-58 euros. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
