AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, very large XXL shell (155/185/425 mm) of Syrinx aruanus, commonly known as the trumpet or hidden trumpet, is an exceptionally distinctive marine snail species. It is a mollusk in the family Turbinellidae and a species of the genus Syrinx. The shell is typically a light brown color, but over its life it is covered by a thick brown or gray periostracum. The shell color can fade to creamy yellow. The whole shell is spindle-shaped. The spire of the shell is tall. The siphonal region usually has a strong keel, which may be used by ridges. The shell possesses a long siphonal canal. The columella has no folds, unlike other types in the same family. I highly recommend it to collectors and interior decorators.
