DESCRIPTION
A stunning 15cm long Chicoreus ramosus seashell. It is quite heavy, weighing 240g. These shells are quite large, very rugged, and heavy. It has a relatively globose outline, possessing a short spire, a slightly inflated body whorl, and a moderately long siphonal canal. One of its most striking ornamentations are the conspicuous, leaf-like, recurved hollow digitations. It also presents three spinose axial varices per whorl, with two elongated nodes between them. The shell is coloured white to light brown externally, with a white aperture, generally pink towards the inner edge, the outer lip and columnella.
