NoteOUTSTANDING UNIQUE GLOBOSE SCALED FORM WOOOOW!! Extra scales on the dorsal side with unique effect. The real short body shape with elevated globose scaled form combined with spotted banding pattern, the color is coming with dark brown coloration on top and ventral side with dark golden color coloration. The scale are really extending forming a globose effect. The aperture is just white and elegant with reddish operculum, the lip for is exactly as found, not broken and siphon is really intact. The apex is just perfect and intact too. F+++. A truly exquisite and exotic sculpture. Extremely variable species with all kinds of colors, shapes, patterns, and scales. A species very adaptable to all types of conditions from deep waters to populations at low tide exposed to the sun light. They usually like shallow and turbid waters rich in nutrients and in estuarine areas with mangroves or where oysters, mussels, Calyptraeidae species and chamas are abundant, which is their main food, they are sea scavenger and I have even found it eating dead fishes between the rocks. Found attached between stones and oysters with mud about 3m to 7m deep. Isla Toriz, Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. January 2026. Value for this unique rarity with the most extended multiple scales all around making a globose effect and the most rare banding form: 25-33 euros . Good luck and happy shelling. MEXICO PACIFIC
