Description

This is a natural Harpago chiragra shell, commonly known as the Chiragra Spider Conch. It is a species of large marine gastropod in the Strombidae family, also known as the true conchs. The shell is thick, robust, and heavy, with a distinct anterior notch. Its most notable feature is the six long, curved marginal digitations extending from the flaring, thick outer lip and canals. The columella and aperture are lirate. This item measures approximately 10" L and is in good condition.
