Item | # 0003469984 | Family | Fissurellidae | Name | Fissurella maxima - Nice, selected , G. B. Sowerby I, 1834 |
Size | 81 mm |
Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
Note | One very nice specimen of Fissurella maxima, the largest species of Fissurella. This species lives on rocks, usually near and under forests of the giant algae Lessonia. Large Fissurella species are edible (and very tasty), and so are caught by fishermen, collected with hooks and very often damaged. They also have the dorsum of the shell always covered by calcareous algae, vermetids, boring polychaetes and other epibionts, particularly Scurria species. This specimen is in excellent condition for the species, with a nice lip with no damage and a naturally cleaned dorsum with a bit of calcareous and reddish algae that can be cleaned further. A good low price for a very nice specimen of Fissurella. |
