FamilyVolutidae
NameCalliotectum dalli claydoni - BIGGEST AND BEST , Poppe, 1986
Size169 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteThe largest and BEST specimen I have ever seen of this extreme deep-water, endemic western Australian subspecies. Collected during the legendary 1980s trawls off the atolls of Rowley Shoals, and never available since. Now obtainable only from choice old collections, and almost never at this size and quality. Virtually full glossy dark chestnut periostracum intact, lending the specimen the appearance as if carved from dark hardwood. A rare and exquisite shell when seen like this. A treasure from my private Volutidae collection to be passed now to another connoisseur of the world's very best seashells. Size: 169 mm (length). Grading: F++++ (Gem for species). Data: Off Rowley Shoals, Western Australia, Australia; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; 600-800 m; trawled; 1983. Provenance: JES private collection, Melbourne/London.
