Natural Haliotis Asinina Seashell

The shell of Haliotis asinina has a distinctly elongated contour, in clear resemblance to a donkey ear, hence the common name. Its outer surface is smooth and almost totally covered by the mantle in life, making encrustations of other animals (such as barnacles) quite uncommon in comparison to other abaloneThe color may variate between green olive or brown externally, with distinct roughly triangular patches.
