FamilyPatellidae
NamePatella mexicana - RARE CRAZY FREAK!!!!!
Size132 mm
LocalityChalacatepec, Jalisco, Mexico
NoteCRAZY FREAK FORM!!! So nice beauty, massive and heavy. You are admiring the most freak specimen i have ever collected, in all my carrier .From my private collection. Extremely shinny ventral side , so fresh, so nice. RARE SPECIES!! Patella mexicana are really hard to get species believe me!!! !! Very natural conditions specimen on top with all kind of attachments . VERY RARE NOWADAYS!! Difficult and dangerous to get them off. Took me about 2 years until i found a place where they live and how to take them off from stones ( between big waves). The fisherman would collect them for food and broke the shell to get the meat. They look for Oysters or Percebes and some times one P. mexicana is there, so they had to wait for the best day (calm day), otherwise its always wavy with a lot of currents and danger. And of course you need to go far from the coastline until you will find a good place for P. mexicana. This species are usually eroded and has pin holes, never gem, but this is about as good as they come. The ventral side is just fresh shinny and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity. Found attached to the rocks at high tide from 0m until 4m deep. Chalacatepec, Jalisco, Mexico. December 2017, Collected by Local Divers (Mario-Victor) and Eduardo Amador Moreno. Good luck!! Estimation: 38-45 euro MEXICO PACIFIC
