| Item | # 0003588548 | | Family | Fissurellidae | | Name | Fissurella latimarginata - Amazing Pathological , G. B. Sowerby I, 1835 |
| Size | 60.6 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One nice and selected specimen of Fissurella latimarginata. This species, as most congeners, 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 often damaged. They also have the dorsum of the shell always covered by calcareous algae, vermetids, boring polychaetes and other epibionts, particularly Scurria species. Fissurella latimarginata in particular is always found with chips either naturally or when collected, as their margins at their borders are very thin and sharp. This specimen is in very good condition for the species, with a bit rough border of the shell, and with a natural (lightly cleaned) dorsum covered with white calcareous algae which can be cleaned further with some patience to reveal the marvelous burgundy-brown colored shell dorsum. This particular specimen is pathological, having a thick and heavy shell with some deformities in the border, very uncommon. A low initial price for a very interesting specimen, perfect to compare with normal-shaped specimens |
