FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila friendi thersites - RARE JEANIANA-LIKE GIANT , Gaskoin, 1849
Size81.2 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteEXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 6: Part six of my extra special sales comprised entirely of exceptional specimens from my private collection, representing highlights of my collecting and dealing career. Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. ZOILA FRIENDI THERSITES: This sale continues the dispersal of my substantial private collection of thersites variants, with seven exemplary specimens being offered. Specimen 2: This enormous specimen, one of the largest Stansbury specimens I have ever seen, could easily be mistaken for big, black jeaniana, with its markedly tapered and attenuated terminals, and overall graceful form, (see above left image). Extremely minimal and negligible ultra-fine sand abrasion to dorsum, fully glossed in life. Sporadic, restricted areas of ultra-dark copper amongst an otherwise near black dorsum. Meticulously curated, with the appearance of having been collected this year. The shallow water Stansbury form is no longer available, and is now obtainable only from old collections. A truly outstanding thersites, unlike almost all others I have seen, for the advanced Zoila specialist. Size: 81.2 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Stansbury, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon red sponge, amongst flagweed, upon sand rubble substrate; 5-10 m; dived; early 1980s. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
