| Item | # 0002179347 | | Family | Fasciolariidae | | Name | Fusinus novaehollandiae - NEW OFFICIAL WRS , Reeve, 1848 |
| Size | 235 mm, w/o |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | At c.235 mm, this incredible giant surpasses the current official World Record Size by an enormous margin. (Information verified at wrs-shells.com upon 3 May 2019). It is also, miraculously, the BEST giant specimen I have ever seen. Exceptional state of preservation for this usually very rough species. Perfect ultra-elongate siphonal canal. Perfect, fully mature, outer apertural lip. Although readily available during the heyday of Victorian trawling, it was always supremely difficult to obtain a specimen even approaching this size of such quality. A monumental showpiece specimen, for the Fasciolariidae specialist, or collector of giant, 'wow factor' seashells. Size: c.235 mm (length). Grading: F++++; w/o. Data: Off Lakes Entrance, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia; upon mud/sand/detritus substrate; 220-260 m; trawled; 1981. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
