| Item | # 0002129958 | | Family | Volutidae | | Name | Cymbiolista hunteri - DWARF FORM , Iredale, 1931 |
| Size | 92.5 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | SPECIAL SALE - PART 8: Part eight of my current 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. CYMBIOLISTA HUNTERI: A superb, fully mature specimen of a potential true dwarf example, as virtually all specimens of hunteri are far larger, probably precluding the notion that male examples are always substantially smaller in this species. Rich colour and interesting pattern. As opposed to the usual very heavy trawl damage to the outer apertural lip, (upon account of its delicate nature), the current specimen exhibits virtual perfection in this respect. Minor natural disruptions and small trawl loss at siphonal canal. A rare form for the Volutidae specialist. Size: 92.5 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Tweed Heads, New South Wales, Australia; upon sand/mud substrate; 80-100 m; trawled; 1984. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
