FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila thersites contraria - GIANT BEAUTY , Iredale, T., 1935
Size83.2 mm
Localityoff Port Lincoln
NoteHeavy, fully mature,very impressive shell, top of the game. GIANT for contraria form shell with goldy stripes on the back. 83.2 mm. Nice heavy yellowish callus and base of the shell with attractive dotting. Perfect terminals. Shell looks very much like top rarity -Thersites eburnea collected by divers off Kangaroo Island. There are little sand grain and tiny, short growth mark on labral side of shell's back, both well overglased. Both issues visible on photo, otherwise shell is GEM. Live collected from 120 meters on Umbilia armeniaca ground by trawlers based in Port Lincoln in 2009. One of my best shells . I will put a few top cowries from my personal collection on coming shell auctions.
