AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The beautiful Tibia Fusus shell with operculum, commonly known as Spindle Tibia or Shinbone Tibia Gastropod, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the Strombidae family, the true conchs. These shells are large, spindle-shaped, with moderately convex whorls and an exceptionally long, thin, and slightly curved siphonal canal. The base color ranges from straw yellow to reddish-beige. The opening is ovoid and white inside, with six finger-like outgrowths on the outer lip. It is a fairly common species in the area, but due to its attractive appearance, it is highly sought after by shell collectors. Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 275 mm. I highly recommend it to collectors and interior decorators.
