Fissurella pulchra Very Rare, Very Large
97 mm Caldera, northern Chile 50,00 € |
|
| Item | # 0003696249 | | Family | Fissurellidae | | Name | Fissurella pulchra - Very Rare, Very Large , G. B. Sowerby I, 1834 |
| Size | 97 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One very nice and very large live-collected specimen of the very rare Fissurella pulchra, one of the large species of Fissurella endemic to the southeastern Pacific. This species lives in the subtidal in very specific places, on rocks in sandy areas and in very low numbers. Together with F. bridgesi these are the rarest Fissurella species found in Chile and Perú (although pulchra is rarer). Large Fissurella species are edible (and very tasty), and so are caught by fishermen, collected with hooks and often damaged. This particular specimen is very large for the species, has a nice dorsum in its natural condition, with erosion overall and a nice interior of the shell. The lip is perfect, thickened, with no damages, and the dorsum is free from boring barnacles or polychaetes or other boring organisms. A very low initial price for an interesting and very rare limpet, very difficult to obtain at such size. |
