Thaisella chocolata Very Nice, Selected
65 mm Caldera, northern Chile 3,00 €  |
|
| Item | # 0003772321 |
| Family | Muricidae |
| Name | Thaisella chocolata - Very Nice, Selected , (Duclos, 1832) |
| Size | 65 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One nice live-collected specimen of the edible muricid Thaisella chocolata with its original operculum. This species is collected by divers in 4-10 m depth off the rocky coasts of northern Chile and southern Perú. This species is uncommon in collections as their shells are almost always covered with cirripedian and other epibionts. This particular specimen is rather clean for the species, with very small defects, but it has some barnacles and green algae still on the shell. This specimen was collected by a diver at 8 m depth (we have the coordinates) and it preserves its original operculum. This is a low price for a species which is difficult to obtain for collections. |
