Item | # 0002230513 | Family | Cypraeidae | Name | Zoila rosselli - BERNIER IS. FORM SUPERB. , (Cotton, 1948) |
Size | 52.1 mm |
Locality | Bernier Is., Shark Bay, N.W.Aust |
Note | Due to my wife's medical condition, I have been unable to put a more comprehensive list of specimens together for this shellauction. But what I have done is selected 12 quality cypraea specimens of a unique form and of high quality for your consideration.
On offer is a petite Bernier Island form of rosselli, which exhibits the beautiful square shape that this form conveys. This specimen is particularly small for this form at only 52mm, as most are 55mm+ and at 39mm wide it gives the beautiful square natural of its shape. A wonderfully black specimen perfect in every way except for a small U-shaped crease seen on the dorsal elevation. Being so black the small flaw is well hidden. This form is so rare without nacre chips and nacre windows and this is one such specimen, with a perfectly glassy dorsum and perfectly glassy base, other than the small dorsal crease. Diver collected in 45M. on geodia sponge, off Bernier Island, Carnarvon, N.W. Australia, April 2019.
