| Note | EXTRA SPECIAL SALE: This is an extra special sale comprised entirely of exceptional specimens drawn from my private collection, being sold to benefit arts philanthropy, as I am moving in a new collecting direction. These specimens represent innumerable upgrades and highlights of my collecting and dealing career, and in many cases are the finest examples of the species which have ever passed through my hands. Please enjoy this opportunity to acquire many outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. RHINOCLAVIS FASCIATUS: All seven specimens from my private collection of the beautiful Coral Bay form of fasciatus, (the only cerithids I retained), are here offered as a display set to fully illustrate the range of variation of this exquisite form. The Coral Bay form is justly famed for producing incredibly beautiful patterns in varying shades of brown and white, elevating it far above standard specimens from other localities. Coral Bay now forms part of the Ningaloo Marine Park, and fresh specimens are no longer obtainable. All with thickened, fully mature outer apertural lip, and well-preserved siphonal canal. Size: 54-70.7 mm (length). Grading: F++++-Gem. Data: Ningaloo Reef, Coral Bay, Western Australia, Australia; upon coarse coral sand substrate; 3-6 m; dived; 1991. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
