NameConus wallangra - ULTRA-BIG; BEST PATTERN , Garrard, 1961
Size32.4 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteSPECIAL SALE - PART 8: Part eight of my current special sales 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. CONUS WALLANGRA: An ultra-large specimen of this uncommon, deep-water, north-eastern Australia species, from the very ‘old days’ of collecting, exhibiting a superb pattern. Several other far more available species are often mistakenly offered as wallangra - this is the REAL thing. Almost always with substantial growth damage upon account of its relatively fine shell and rough habitat, the current specimen has one axial growth disruption upon the body whorl, parallel with, and close to, the outer apertural lip, which in no way detracts from the presentation of this rare example, (see above images). (Image of labral profile available upon request.) Mammillate protoconch intact. Collected during the legendary 1980s Queensland trawls, and now obtainable only from old collections. Size: 32.32 mm (length). Grading: F+. Data: Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia; upon sand substrate; 60-120 m; trawled; 1950. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
