NoteEXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 2: Part two of my extra special sale comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. AMORIA DAMONI RETICULATA: The BEST giant specimen of the Taiwanese trawled form I have ever seen of this endemic Northern Australian subspecies. A ‘pride of place’ specimen amongst my Volutidae collection upon account of its size and fabulous, ultra-dense, ultra-dark coloured pattern, formed with supreme regularity. A product of the legendary 1970s Taiwanese trawling operations undertaken off the Northern coast of Australia, and now obtainable only from old collections. Apart from minimal smoothing to the outer apertural lip, (carried out at the source in the 1970s as a matter of course), the specimen is Gem. Definitely for the Volutidae specialist or collector of giant sized seashells. Size: 114.5 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Northern coast of Western Australia, Australia; upon sand substrate; 80-120 m; trawled; 1970s. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
