Note

INCREDIBLE EXTRA LONG TOOTH AND MARVELOUS PATTERN WOOOOW!! Special beauty with extreme long tooth, really unique. Size 48mm with tooth! The shell has a remarkable size with thick and heavy conditions. Marvelous superb thick banding pattern, absolutely black thick with tiny brown bands. Thick massive, fat and heavy, the most elegant and elongated tooth. Minor natural imperfections , like light erosion around the apex and growth line as usual for this large sizes, not really detracting the beauty. F+++. This species is common in my region in certain specific locations; they love to eat oysters, clams, and mussels, and in some cases, Crucibulum species. They use their muscle and tooth to open the bivalves, an incredible and unique adaptation. But large sizes are always coming with so ugly conditions, looking really bad with several holes, scars and damage as natural for this rough species. A few specimens sometimes are coming with better conditions, here after intensive dives for days the best selection of the larger pieces. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this selected and large pieces for the population in Melaque. Found attached between Chama species and stones with mud about 5-8m deep. Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. September 2026. Estimated value between 33-35 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
