FamilyCypraeidae
NameCypraea felina fabula - THE REAL THING , Kiener, 1843
Size16.8 mm
LocalityOman
NoteThe partner to the specimen I sold in a previous auction, this truly 'fabula' specimen was acquired in the old days of Arabian Gulf availability, and was selected at the time from around a dozen superb shells as being one of the heaviest, darkest, and most symmetrical. Hypermature, with pronounced ventral and marginal callosity, and great weight to size ratio. Enormous ultra-dark chocolate marginal maculae. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. Completely stable colour. In a different league to most specimens offered. Specimens like this now obtainable only from old collections. Size: 16.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Muscat, Oman; upon reef substrate, at extreme low tide; 1979. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
