FamilyFasciolariidae
NameOpeatostoma pseudodon - GIANT SELDOM SEEN SIZE!!
Size48 mm, w/o
LocalityMelaque, Jalisco, Mexico.
NoteSELDOM SEEN GREAT GIANT SIZE FOR THE POPULATION!! 48mm with tooth! Amazing Giant with superb thick banding pattern , singular black shoulder band and anterior bands between the middle brown banding great pattern. Thick massive, fat and heavy, the most elegant and elongated tooth. Minor natural imperfections , like light erosion around the spire-apex and growth line, not really detracting the beauty. F+++-F++. This species is common in my region in certain specific locations; they love to eat oysters, clams, and mussels, and in some cases, Crucibulum species. They use their muscle and tooth to open the bivalves, an incredible and unique adaptation. But large sizes are always coming with so ugly conditions, looking really bad with several holes, scars and damage as natural for this rough species. A few specimens sometimes are coming with better conditions, here after intensive dives for days the best selection of the larger pieces. Do not miss this unique opportunity to get this selected and large pieces for the population in Melaque. Found attached between Chama species and stones with mud about 5-8m deep. Melaque, Jalisco, Mexico. September 2026. Estimated value between 33-35 euro. Good luck and Happy shelling!!! MEXICO PACIFIC
