| Item | # 0003211083 | | Family | Fasciolariidae | | Name | Triplofusus giganteus - GIANT , (Kiener, 1840) |
| Size | 470 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Celestun, Yucatan, Mexico |
| Note | This is the biggest specimen of T. giganteus we have seen in a while, it is still in its natural condition, with periostracum and other natural attachments.
It has a scar on the dorsum, and as usual for these big specimens, the apex is missing.
This makes for an amazing display piece, being such a large example of the second biggest gastropod in the world.
Collected alive by a local diver while diving at 15m deep, 12 miles off the Celestun harbor, back in September of this year.
If you would like to see additional pictures, feel free to send me a message and I'll gladly send them.
Before bidding, please take into consideration that this shell is really big and heavy(It weighs 4.5kg already packed), so shipping it anywhere in the world will be expensive. Feel free to contact me to request the shipping cost to your country. |
