| Name | Pterotyphis fayae - RARE COLOSSAL THICK LIP! |
| Size | 16 mm, w/o |

| Note | RARE!! EXTREMELY THICK COLOSSAL LIP DWARF EXCEPTIONAL BEAUTY!! Very rare Dwarf specimen with ultra thick and fully adult conditions, Hard to get so small and so robust and spiny. This species is almost impossible to find active during the day. They seem to be nocturnal and are always attached to stones that are deeply buried, up to 40cm below the sand between buried platforms or stones. This makes them very difficult to find, hence their rarity. Museum conditions for the species!! Super thick White extended and curved lip-wing with so massive thickness, so elegant and amazing. Stunning structure with beautiful spiny spire. One of most rare species of all tiny Pterotyphis in my region. Marvelous fully radial ribs with brown pattern, top apex and spire, JEWEL!! The best of the best for the species. Masterpiece. Gem. For advancer collectors. Hard to get nowadays in any conditions and with seldom seen original operculum. Found attached in buried stones. Between 4-5m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. May 2025. Value for this extra thick extended lip and DWARF population: 40-50 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
