Family | Cypraeidae |
Name | Zoila kostini friendii - Hybrid Gold Shell !!! , Lorenz & Chiaponni 2007 |
Size | 70.5 mm |
Locality | Margaret River, WA |
Note | As I have mentioned previously friendii and kostini inter-grade and in the depth range 100 to 135 metres the species shows huge variation in color and shape. This coincides with the lower ice age shore lines. Should anyone like a copy of the talk I gave on this subject at the last COA I would be happy to email them a copy. This gold specimen is in my opinion closer to kostini but is more elongate and with more pronounced siphons than typical kostini found in deeper water. It was collected in 130 metres west of Margaret River. It has gorgeous radiant gold color and a china white base. Conservatively graded at gem- as it has a very slight growth fold. Very pretty shell. |
