American English: Szponiatka (Lambis chiragra chiragra)\nID Number: CMM/DO/65\nDimensions: 200 mm wide, 276 mm long\nMaterial: Calcium carbonate, conchiolin\nOrigin: Gifted\nCreation Period: Before 1970\nDescription: Large, heavy, and robust shell of a snail from the family of volutes with an inflated last turn and low twist. The growths around the edge of the opening are so developed that it is difficult to see the twist. The apex is sharply pointed; all twists have an edge. The last turn has irregular and nodular spiral ribs, of which the thickest are curved at the ends. Five papillae of the outer lip (the sixth papilla located at the base of the thread-like siphonal canal is actually a syphonary channel) have the shape of unsealed tubes. The shell has high exhibition value, presented in the cycle of exhibitions "Shells of the World". It comes from the collection donated by Eugeniusz Michno, a Pole living on Florida.\nhttps://kolekcje.nmm.pl/Home/Details/358-snail-shell-from-species-lambi
