Pusula radians (20mm) - GIANT SIZE - Perfect GEM Rare...

Scientific name: Pusula radians (Lamarck, 1810) (Synonym: Trivia radians). In the English-speaking world, it is known by the common name “Radiate Trivia.” It belongs to the family of coffee snails (Triviidae). Size: 18 mm is an absolute peak and record size for this species ("Giant"). While normal adult specimens typically range between 14 and 18 mm, 20 mm already borders on the maximum biological upper limit for the species. Among collectors, anything 20 mm and above for this species is considered a true giant ("Giant"). Morphology: Pusula radians is characterized by a very broad, almost circular shell with a flat underside. The strong cross-ribs run over the entire dorsum and, unlike Pusula solandri, usually do not have a continuous, deep median furrow, but often merge directly into one another. Origin (standard distribution): This species lives in the eastern Pacific. Its range extends from Baja California (Mexico) through Central America (often from Panama) to Ecuador and Peru. Quality grade: GEM. A perfect shell with no chips or wear to the ribs. Since these animals live in rocky intertidal zones in surge, flawless preservation in such a large, ancient specimen is exceptional. Insured shipping via DHL Sales and shipping only within the EU
