| Item | # 0002436276 | | Family | Xenophoridae | | Name | Xenophora cf cerea - EARLIEST CLARKSON LABEL? |
| Size | 68.3 mm |
| Locality | Philippines |
| Note | This specimen, of high quality, with all attachments intact, is offered principally upon account of the accompanying much-coveted label of Peter Clarkson, author of ‘Australia’s Spectacular Cowries’, and represents what may be the EARLIEST known example of a Clarkson label, being dated 1985. Clarkson travelled to the Philippines during the formative years of his collecting, retaining many of the specimens he gathered there within his private collection. I know of no extant original, hand-written Clarkson label pre-dating 1985. A piece of shell collecting history. Size: 68.3 mm (longest dimension). Grading: Gem. Data: Off Panglao, Bohol, Philippines; upon sand/rubble/detritus substrate; 100-200 m; tangle nets; c.1983. Provenance: 1. Peter Clarkson private collection, Port Lincoln; 2. JES private collection, Melbourne/London. |
