Petricola ramirezi Rare, Interesting

Item# 0003903924
FamilyVeneridae
NamePetricola ramirezi - Rare, Interesting , Araya & Osorio, 2019
Size6 mm
LocalityCaldera, northern Chile
NoteOne very interesting Natural History Curiosity: Two specimens (they measure about 6 mm in maximum dimensions) of the recently described nestling bivalve Petricola ramirezi Araya & Osorio, 2019 from Caldera, northern Chile, the type locality for the species. This species was discovered nestling inside empty cirripedian (Balanus laevis) shells, and thus it has rather variable shell outlines. This lot includes two specimens still inside an empty Balanus laevis chamber in a colony washed ashore. As they grow they get stuck in these chambers. This is the only nestling Petricola in the southeastern Pacific, and it is endemic of a very restringed locality. A low initial price for an interesting lot.
