| Item | # 0003696127 | | Family | Fissurellidae | | Name | Fissurella bridgesii - Very Rare , Reeve, 1849 |
| Size | 80.5 mm |
| Locality | Caldera, northern Chile |
| Note | One very nice specimen of the very rare Fissurella bridgesi, one of the large species of Fissurella endemic to the southeastern Pacific. This species lives in the subtidal in very specific places, and it is found in very low numbers. This is, together with F. pulchra, the rarest Fissurella species found in Chile and Perú. Large Fissurella species are edible (and very tasty), and so are caught by fishermen, collected with hooks and often damaged. This particular specimen has a nice thick shell, with a nice cleaned dorsum with minute defects and some boreholes. It has an almost perfect beveled border with no damages except a chip, the interior of the shell is nice but it has some defects (a broken hard vesicle) as can be seen in the images. As large Fissurella are commercially exploited in the area they are nowadays more uncommon, and this particular species is very rare. This is an opportunity to obtain a rare and nice specimen from a difficult-to-get species for a low initial price. |
