| Locality | Australia |
| Note | SPECIAL 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. ECHINOPHORIA KURODAI: Specimens of the Australian form, (the most beautiful incarnation of the species), were first collected during the legendary 1980s trawls off the atolls of Rowley Shoals, off the North-Western coast, and were not readily available for thirty plus years, until a new population was discovered early last year, when deep-water trawling was undertaken off a more southerly area of the Western Australian coast. Specimens from this new population exhibit richer colours than those from the 1980s locality, and the current specimen was selected by myself as exhibiting the BEST colour of all the specimens which came to me. Particularly well-developed nodes. Fully mature, ‘rolled’ and glossed outer apertural lip. Size: 70.6 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Carnarvon, Western Australia, Australia; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; 400-600 m; trawled; January 2018. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
