The common name murex ramosus corresponds to Chicoreus ramosus, a marine gastropod mollusk in the Muricidae family. Its shell is characterized by branched extensions that explain its name. This species lives in the Indo-Pacific marine waters, from the Red Sea to Australia and to Polynesia. It feeds notably on other mollusks, making it a reference point for collection and naturalist observation. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda Order: Neogastropoda Family: Muricidae Genus: Chicoreus Species: Chicoreus ramosus. Symbolic evocations of the shell. In symbolic interpretations, the shell is often associated with the sea, travel, and natural cycles. Its forms shaped by the marine environment can invite a slower gaze and attention to details. The murex, with its branched contour, can thus suggest an invitation to contemplation. These readings are personal, but they willingly accompany an object chosen for its link to the marine universe. It is in good condition. The inside of its aperture is pink and white, and the exterior is white. It is of large size. The bigger a shell, the older it is and the more it has lived. You can see the small holes caused by parasites that must have been on its shell when it was alive. It measures 17 cm long and 13.5 cm wide, for 290 g."
