| Item | # 0003475031 | | Family | OTHER | | Name | Siphonaria palmata - GIANT FLAT AND DAAARK!! |
| Size | 23.3 mm |
| Locality | Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. |
| Note | SIPHONARIIDAE - Siphonaria palmata (Carpenter, 1857). LARGE DARK FLAT UNIQUE AND SPECIAL EXEMPLAR!! Here, on the ventral side, it is absent of the usual white ring that surrounds the lip contour. Here it does not present everything, it is dark black-brown and only the spines are white. The dorsal part presents a dark design between the elongated fingers and a completely flat and elegant body. Hard to find specimens with top exceptional conditions. Light erosion on top as usual for the species and size, not detracting the beauty! A very interesting species that in many cases remains in the same place all its life, forming together with the erosion on the stone the exacted figure of the shell outline. Apparently feeding on the marine soup that comes and goes with the currents and waves, this species lives where the waves break and in the intertidal zone. Really hard to remove from stones without braking them. Top conditions for the species!! Shiny ventral side with so dark brown beautiful fresh color. The best selection for the species. F+++. Found attached to the rocks with green and brown algae at extremely low tide. Under Mirador Don Lupe, Punta Melaque , Melaque, , Jalisco, Mexico. April 2024. Value for this very rare darker and flat plate body form: 21-24 euro. ATTENTION!!!
