| Item | # 0004038503 |
| Family | Muricidae |
| Name | Rapaninae purpura presica - Monster size! Wrs! , Linnaeus, 1758 |
| Size | 123,50 mm |
| Locality | Marquisas |
| Note | An outstanding GIANT specimen. The current record is 118.95 mm, but this specimen is even bigger! It measures 123.50 mm by 94 mm wide. I'm including a dwarf specimen measuring 47.52 mm for comparison. Grade F+++ (one chip near the mouth at the front). It's still in excellent condition considering its habitat on the cliffs of the Marquesas Islands, which are very rough due to powerful waves. Definitely a monster for its size!
