Locality | Australia |
Note | EXCEPTIONAL JES PRIVATE COLLECTION SPECIMEN: This sale includes five exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing a rare opportunity to create your own price for extremely high-value shells. UMBILIA ARMENIACA: An extremely rare and magnificent, absolute Gem, 'top of the line' giant armeniaca, virtually touching 110 mm. It is a difficult proposition to obtain an armeniaca of this size in ANY condition, but a specimen of this magnitude, of absolute perfection, is a great rarity. In addition, its markedly inflated form greatly enhances its imposing appearance, which can only be properly appreciated 'in the hand'. Hypermature, with great weight to size ratio, and pronounced dorsal ridging. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. South Australian, Great Australian Bight trawled specimens are now extremely difficult to obtain, as the trawling of such specimens is virtually finished. Now only from choice old collections, and almost never of this enormous size and quality. One of the largest and BEST armeniaca from my private collection for the Umbilia connoisseur. Size: 109.3 mm (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Great Australian Bight, South Australia, Australia; upon mud/sand/detritus substrate; 150-300 m; trawled; 1995. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
