Note

Available is an exceptional, museum-quality specimen of the extinct stromboid Persististrombus aldrichi (Dall, 1890), originating from the world-renowned Lower Miocene deposits of the Chipola Formation in Calhoun County, Florida.This particular shell is an absolute standout for any high-end collection, first and foremost due to its monumental size. Measuring an astonishing 64.02 mm, this specimen pushes the absolute upper limit for the species, towering over the standard 40-50 mm average representatives usually found. It is a genuine fossil giant.Beyond its size, the state of preservation is exemplary. The shell remains nearly intact, showcasing the exquisite natural architecture of this prehistoric gastropod. The most striking feature is the row of shoulder nodules: they are remarkably prominent, large, and beautifully well-formed. This crisp morphology proves that the shell was rapidly buried millions of years ago, completely protected from the eroding forces of ancient ocean currents. With its flawless silhouette and superb aesthetic presence, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a pinnacle-grade specimen of a classic American Miocene treasure. A prize addition for any serious fossil or Strombidae enthusiast. Shell No.: 1304.
