FamilyRanellidae
NameRanella australasia - 'BENTHICOLA' D-W FORM , Perry, 1811
Size111.3 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. RANELLA AUSTRALASIA: For Ranellidae specialists, I offer an opportunity in this auction to acquire EVERY variety of the deep-water form of australasia - my entire set of five shells, all of exceptional quality for this usually very rough form. Specimen 4: A superb specimen of an intermediate form between the typical deep-water variety, and that often referred to as 'kutzei', (also offered by me in this sale). This eastern specimen is very close to that form described by Iredale as 'benthicola', (now correctly considered a synonym of australasia), in its pronounced double row of well-developed peripheral nodes and high spire, although neither in the current specimen is as well-developed as those features in the holotype. Yellowish ivory, (intermediate with the pure white of the 'kurtzei' form), with accents of pale chocolate at the varices. Pure porcellaneous white apertural interior. Large size. Hypermature, with markedly thickened, flaring outer apertural lip, with delicate outer edge in a superb state of preservation. Ultra-clean, with no encrustation. An outstanding example for the Ranellidae specialist. Size: 111.3 mm (length). Grading: F++++. Data: Off Portland, Victoria, Australia; upon sand/rubble substrate; 60-100 m; craypot; 1981. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
