| Item | # 0003874725 |
| Family | Muricidae |
| Name | Neorapana muricata - EXTENDED LOVELY WING LIP , (Broderip, 1832) |
| Size | 40.5 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico |
| Note | Brown-Purplish "GOLDEN ERODED" color form with superb extra long rare wing scaled lip. Wide orange cream aperture combined with the wavy lip and 2 extended ribs. Elevated ribs with micro dense elegant scales, beautiful flat body shape except for the high nodules-scaled ribs around. Some kind of drill hole in the ventral side, not detracting the beauty. Erosion around the dorsal and ventral side with golden unique color form. F++-F+++. Very hard to get this species and with this crazy conditions. Do not miss this unique opportunity. For advancer collectors and lovers of rarities. This particular species is always found attached to large stones and apparently feeds more at night. Devourer of marine worms, chamas and Oysters! The body is generally always accompanied and attached by many types of calcareous organisms and algae making them invisible in many cases. You need to have a very good eye to find them, and they are rare. Very rarely do you find good specimens with impressive conditions. Really hard to clean taking hours to get this result. I clean it in about 1 hour with no break. The most impressive high nodules and scales you will see. Found attached between muddy stones about 6m deep. Cuastecomates, Jalisco, Mexico. July 2025. Value for the most beautiful high nodules combined with extra dense scales and eroded special golden color form: 30-40 euros. Same High resolution image available on request. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC |
