FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila marginata orientalis - ULTRA-BIG; EX P CLARKSON , Raybaudi, 1985
Size59 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteWe are working our way through my extensive holdings of magnificent Zoila from the private collection of Peter Clarkson, (author of ‘Australia’s Spectacular Cowries’), with this ultra-large and superb specimen of the supremely beautiful, greatly inflated Kangaroo Island form, exhibiting the large dorsal maculae characteristic of the finest specimens. The specimen was collected by Peter Clarkson, (author of ‘Australia’s Spectacular Cowries’), although, in this instance, no original, hand-written Clarkson label accompanies the specimen, as the shell was part of a pair obtained from Clarkson, for which one label served both specimens. However, the comprehensive data, along with the locality, (discovered and frequented by Clarkson), attest to this being a Clarkson-collected specimen. This famous BIG Kangaroo Island form is now extremely difficult to obtain, and has become much coveted. Its locality is now protected by nature reserves, and no fresh specimens will be available in future. Size: 59 mm (length). Grading: F++++. Data: Off West of Penneshaw breakwater, North-East coast of Kangaroo Island, South Australia, Australia; upon slate reef substrate, upon orange finger sponge; 25 m; dived; 30 November 2003. Provenance: 1. Peter Clarkson private collection, Port Lincoln; 2. JES private collection, Melbourne/London.
