Details

This is the largest patellated species, sometimes reaching a size of 200 mm. It is found on the Pacific coasts from western Mexico to Peru. It is special that the almost white shell houses an almost black animal. The shell has a characteristic oval shape. The price, as often, depends on the size of the specimen.
