| Item | # 0003322493 |
| Family | Volutidae |
| Name | Notovoluta pseudolirata - Solid Volute !!! , (Tate, 1888) |
| Size | 67.3 mm |
| Locality | Cliff Head, WA. |
| Note | Pseudolirata is a relatively
common volute on the outer
edge of the continental shelf in
depths between 150 and 250
metres of water off the lower
west coast. Over the years we
have found very few live shells
and a number of crabbed
specimens. Unfortunately this is
also the habitat of the
champagne crab which is
extremely powerful and highly
predatory on live mollusks and
hermit crabs. As the result adult
pseudolirata in good condition
are extremely rare and we have
only ever collected a handful of
specimens. It appears juvenile
specimens inhabit depths
between 140 metres and 180
metres but as they grow they
migrate offshore into deeper
water on the continental
shoulder. This dead collected
shell was found on
sand among sponges in 215
metres of water at Cliff Head in February 2023.
This specimen has a growth defect on the top of the dorsum and a very thick but chipped lip. Fine++. |
