Size | 97.76 mm |
Locality | Australia |
Note | NOTE: Special sales dispersing exceptional specimens from my private collection, along with highlights from my high quality stock, will continue indefinitely, without this initial notice. CYMBIOLA FLAVICANS: This incredible giant, from the very 'old days' of collecting, is less than a millimetere under the current official World Record Size, (information verified at wrs-shells.com upon 19 September 2018). Both specimens came from the same region, and exhibit the substrate influenced colour of this locality. Hypermature, with great weight to size ratio. Heavy, late-stage growth upon body whorl towards outer apertural lip. Markedly thickened, fully mature, perfect outer apertural lip and siphonal canal. Massive hypermature columellar plaits. Not the most elegant of seashells, but a definite for the Volutidae specialist or collector of giant sized shells. Size: 97.76 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia; upon mud/sand/detritus substrate, at extreme seasonal low tide; 1976. |
