Fissurella maxima Very Nice, Selected
81.9 mm Caldera, northern Chile 4,00 €  |
|
| Item | # 0003505883 | | Family | Fissurellidae | | Name | Fissurella maxima - Very Nice, Selected , G. B. Sowerby I, 1834 |
| Size | 81.9 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One very nice specimen of Fissurella maxima, the largest species of Fissurella. This species lives on rocks, usually near and under forests of the giant algae Lessonia. Large Fissurella species are edible (and very tasty), and so are caught by fishermen, collected with hooks and very often damaged. They also have the dorsum of the shell always covered by calcareous algae, vermetids, boring polychaetes and other epibionts, particularly Scurria species. This specimen is in very good condition for the species, with a perfect lip with no chips, and a natural dorsum which is covered with calcareous and reddish algae that can be cleaned further, but with no Scurria scars or other damage (as can be seen in the images). If carefully cleaned it can be very nice, with nice alternating rays of color. A low initial price for a very nice specimen of Fissurella. |
