FamilyFissurellidae
NameFissurella maxima - Very Nice, Selected , G. B. Sowerby I, 1834
Size77.9 mm
LocalityCaldera, northern Chile
NoteOne nice live-taken specimen of Fissurella maxima, the largest species of Fissurellidae. This species lives on rocks, usually near and under forests of giant Lessonia algae. Large Fissurella species in Chile are caught by fishermen, collected with hooks and almost always damaged. The dorsum of the shell is always covered by calcareous algae, vermetids, boring polychaetes and other epibionts, particularly Scurria species. This specimen was collected recently by fishermen, and it is in very good condition for the species, with just a few chips as can be seen in the images. A very low initial price for a very nice and very large specimen of Fissurella.
