| Item | # 0003649979 | | Family | Muricidae | | Name | Concholepas concholepas - Very Nice, Selected , (Bruguière, 1789) |
| Size | 109.4 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One very nice specimen of Concholepas concholepas. This is an amazing large muricid with a giant last whorl. This is the largest muricid species found in Chile, and one of the largest gastropods found in northern Chile. They are heavily extracted and their populations are diminishing, as it is an edible species with a large muscle. Usually their shells are very encrusted with encrusting calcareous algae and cirripedian communities, among many other epibionts. This specimen is particulary nice, it has very nice sculpture but the dorsum still has some cirripedians attached which can be cleaned with some patience to reveal the chestnut color of the dorsum of the shell. The lip is very nice, with minimal damage, and there is some erosion to the first whorls, however overall it is a nice specimen. This is your opportunity to have a very nice specimen for the species, and an interesting natural history item. A very low initial price for a very nice specimen of Concholepas concholepas |
