This lot comprises three natural marine gastropod specimens representing distinct species. The largest specimen is a Common Spider Conch (Lambis lambis), featuring six prominent finger-like digitations and a long siphonal canal. Its dorsal surface exhibits natural calcification and white encrustations, while the ventral side shows a smooth, pale orange to creamy-white aperture. The second specimen is a Chiragra Spider Conch (Lambis chiragra), identified by its thick, hooked projections and a distinctive aperture with dark brown and white lirate patterning. The third specimen is a Ramose Murex (Chicoreus ramosus), which displays elaborate frilled spines and a globose body, with a pale pinkish-white interior to the aperture. These specimens are natural history items and do not feature any maker’s marks, provenance labels, or display mounts.
Largest specimen length: Approximately 25-30 cm.
