Description
This large specimen of a Turbo marmoratus is verrry close to the world record in size. I collected it in 1972.Beautiful irredescent pearl on the interior, it shows the wear of it's years of growth in the sea from the numerous worm holes bored into the exterior. Heavy and thick, these shells were once used to make peal buttons for womens blouses before plastics became common.
