| Item | # 0003509621 | | Family | Fissurellidae | | Name | Fissurella maxima - Very Nice!, Selected , G. B. Sowerby I, 1834 |
| Size | 90.2 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One excellent 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 excellent condition for the species, with a nice lip with a few minuscule and almost unnoticeable chips, and a cleaned and colorful dorsum with no epibionts and no Scurria scars or barnacle boreholes, as can be seen in the images. There are some remnants of calcareous and red algae which can be carefully cleaned further. A low initial price for a very nice and cleaned specimen of Fissurella maxima. |
