AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, very large XXL Busycon Contrarium shell. It is a species of hoofed barking snail from the Buccinidae family. Busycon contrarium is a species of fossil snails. It is one of the rare so-called sinistral species, meaning that the whorls of the shell coil counterclockwise. Dimensions: 130/165/305 mm. I highly recommend it to collectors and interior decorators.
