Malea ringens THE MOST HEAVY EVER WOOW
139 mm     Barra de Navidad, Jalisco,Mexico     21,00 €
Item# 0003595290
FamilyTonnidae
NameMalea ringens - THE MOST HEAVY EVER WOOW
Size139 mm
LocalityBarra de Navidad, Jalisco,Mexico
NoteTHE MOST HEAVY EVER AND CYLINDER RARE SHAPE!! So heavy and extreme thick with 380g. This species particularly in small sizes are very thin and even fragile, most of them are lightweight, here the stone thick masterpiece, so heavy, so massive and fat. The cylindrical shape-shoulder makes the spire start earlier, something unique in this specimen. Extra thick lip, columella and siphon. Some little scars of life not detracting the beauty of this unique fat body and superb heavy rarity. F+++-F++. For aesthetic collectors and lovers of this fantastic Family. 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. 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 fresh piece!!! Found buried in sand under huge platforms about 8m deep. Near Barra de Navidad, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2025. Value for this super thick and heavy fantastic piece of art: 100-130 euros. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
