Sea Snail Sea shell - S-597 SYRINX ARUANUS

Beautiful, very large XXL (160/195/435 mm) Syrinx aruanus shell, commonly known as the trumpet or hidden trumpet, is a species of exceptionally remarkable marine snail. It is a mollusk—a marine snail—in the family Turbinellidae and is a species of the genus Syrinx. The shell is ordinarily pale brown in color, but in life it is covered by a thick brown or gray periostracum. The color of the shell can fade to creamy yellow. The whole shell is spindle-shaped. The spire of the shell is tall. The siphuncles usually have a strong keel, which may bear tubercles. The shell possesses a long siphonal canal. The columella has no folds, which occur in other species in the same family. Highly recommended for collectors and interior decorators.
