Malea ringens EXTENDED THICK LIP WOOOW

163 mm     Los Angeles Locos, Jalisco, Mex.     52,00 €
Item# 0003477142
FamilyTonnidae
NameMalea ringens - EXTENDED THICK LIP WOOOW
Size163 mm
LocalityLos Angeles Locos, Jalisco, Mex.
NoteEXTENDED LIP AND COLUMELLA WOOOOW!! The body whorl is very much inflated, completely surrounded by from fifteen equal ribs, depressed, but slightly rounded. These ribs are separated from each other by a shallow furrow, which becomes wider between the first two or three upper ribs, by the disappearance of the intermediate ribs. Very wide form , thick body , heavy and robust. Some natural chip between siphon, scars of life not detracting the beauty of this extended thick lip form. F+++ F++. 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. For advancer collectors. The best of the best for the species. One of my favorite 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!!! Found buried in sand under huge platforms about 5m deep. Near La Vena, Los Angeles Locos, Bahia de Tenacatita, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2023. Value for this unique extended thick lip and columella: 100 euros or more. ATTENTION!!! Dear friends this will be the last auction from Germany, after this auction I have to send all the packages to all of you, I can't take them with me to Mexico, if you will bid on my shells, the package will be sent to your destination after this running auction and payment, thank you for your kind attention and understanding. Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
