Item | # 0002280515 |
Family | Cypraeidae |
Name | Zoila venusta venusta - RARE DEEPWATER SPECIMEN. |
Size | 661.1 mm |
Locality | Seabird, Central West Australia. |
Note | A UNIQUE opportunity to obtain a UNIQUE venusta. The closes relative I believe may be venusta f. bakeri but I feel this specimen stands alone because of size, colour and location. The specimen is very gerontic, super thick and heavy. It exhibits a wonderful soft yellow hue over the dorsum with a few darker gold marking. The margins are a beautiful high cream and the canals are saddled with a gold colour. The base is pure white and extremely thick and the aperture is noticeably narrow. These central and northern West Australian specimen are normally a size category larger and I have not seen this colour form before, essentially
a GOLD. Graded FINE+++ with a fold line above the labral margin seen carefully on the labral side elevation. Taken in a Lobster Pot in 100M. off Seabird, between Two Rocks and Lancelin by a local fisherman friend, 2019. |
