ONE OF THE DARKEST Vitularia salebrosa EVER FOUND WOOOOW!! This sensational and unique masterpiece was darker when I found live but even now is so dark brown like 90% chocolate color. The shell is coming exactly like I found it after cleaning, no real damage. You can admire an intact rare apex with white color only, the lip and siphon are superb, the most beautiful thing of this beauty is the granulate seldom seen structure combine with the darkest brown color ever. F+++. A truly exquisite and exotic sculpture. Extremely variable species with all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns, and scales. Choose your favorite in this great auction. A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for this unique rarity with darkest chocolate color ever found : 38-45 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
