| Family | Patellidae |
| Name | Patella mexicana - HUGE HUGE MASSIVE!!!!! |
| Size | 185 mm |
| Locality | Peña Blanca, Colima, Mexico |
| Note | RARE SPECIES!! Patella mexicana are really hard to get species believe me!!! HUGE HUGE. Grandfather Size!!! from my private collection with 185mm X 140mm. Really rare with this incredible Biiiig and rare size. Very natural conditions specimen on top fully with all kind of attachments but almost clean as usual. 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. Whit 185mm this is a very big and old specimen for the species and at this size its usually eroded and has 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 fresh quality!!! Found at night attached to the rocks at high tide from 0m until 2m deep. Peña Blanca, Colima, Mexico. December 2019, Collected by Local Diver and Eduardo Amador Moreno. Estimation: 150 - 200 euro lets see what happend!!
