| Item | # 0003211611 |
| Family | Tonnidae |
| Name | Malea ringens - SHAPE LIKE A BALL!!!!! |
| Size | 143 mm |
| Locality | Los Angeles Locos,Jalisco,Mexico |
| Note | Extremely Wide form , really like a ball!! Super unique form for the species. Dwarf population with so thick lip and fully adult. Bright light cream color. With awesome apex, spire, perfect lip , siphon and base-lip. Some scars near siphon and back dorsal side almost lost between grow mark not detracting the beauty. 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: 50-62 euros. MEXICO PACIFIC. |
