Family | Patellidae |
Name | Patella mexicana - RARE AND NATURAL WOW!!!! |
Size | 156 x 118 approx mm |
Locality | Punta Paraman, Jalisco, Mexico. |
Note | WOW WOW!! LARGE SIZE Patella mexicana!!! 156 x 118 approximately. Seldom seen with this incredible and giant size. Beautiful Natural conditions. VERY RARE NOWADAYS AND AT THIS SIZE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET!! Very interesting specimen. 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. Whit 156mm this is a very big and old specimen for the species and at this size its usually eroded and has several pin holes, never gem, but this is about as good as they come. The ventral side is just fresh and amazing!!! Don't lose the opportunity, seldom offered with this amazing huge size!!!Found at night attached to the stones at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Punta Paraman, Jalisco, Mexico. March 2018. By Eduardo Amador Moreno and Alejandro Alvarez Pelayo. Estimation 75 to 120 euro or more. Lets start with 2 euro Good luck!! |
