| Item | # 0002179348 | | Family | Volutidae | | Name | Lyria mitraeformis - SUPERIOR EQUAL WRS GIANT , (Lamarck, J.P.B.A., 1811) |
| Size | 61 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | This incredible giant is only 0.5 mm under the current official World Record Size, (information verified at wrs-shells.com upon 3 May 2019), but is a VASTLY superior specimen to the official WRS example, the latter being a dead-collected and badly eroded specimen. Beautiful colours: caramel, fawn, chocolate and ivory, with nebulous background hue of pink. Nothing but a couple of light, typical axial growth disruptions, to be expected upon such an old age giant, but exemplary overall. For the Volutidae specialist, or collector of giant sized shells. Size: 61 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Port Lincoln, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon coarse sand/rubble substrate, at night; 26 m; dived; 1994. |
