| Note | Awesome WIDE THICK lip , extremely wide extended lip for the species. Super rare to get in this conditions and form. A real ball shape. Very elegant sculpture all around combined with a super b seldom seen extreme long nodules inside the base. Some minor defect around like natural chip near base lip and some natural grow marks almost invisible. The rest of the shell is almost perfet.
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. In this auction you can see some sculpture and different shapes. For advancer collectors. The best of the best for the species. F+++. One of my favourite 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!!! From my private colection Found buried in sand under huge platforms about 5m deep. Near La Vena, Los Angeles Locos, Bahia de Tenacatita, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2023. Collected by Eduardo Amador Moreno. Value for this seldom seen beauty: 60-78 euros. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
