Another individual crawls along a rock at water's edge at an undisclosed location near Rosario. This individual is 13 cm long, 9 cm wide, and 4 cm high and has 4 open holes. The anterior end of the animal is to the left. Two of the open holes are visible on the left and a string of older, more posterior filled holes can be seen to the right. Note that the holes are oval and slightly elevated. The pink coloration is coralline algae.
This species has a higher profile and a more pronounced spire (to the left) than most other abalone species, as can be seen in this view from the right side. Posterior is to the left.
