Item | # 0002557147 | Family | Cassidae | Name | Galeodea nipponica - OUTSTANDING; W. AUST. , Sakurai & Habe, 1961 |
Size | 73.8 mm, w/o |
Locality | Australia |
Note | An outstanding specimen of the extreme deep-water Western Australian form. Rare PERFECTION. Almost every example collected from this remote locality was damaged, to some extent, at the outer apertural lip and siphonal canal during the trawling process upon account of its ultra-fine shell. Pristine pure white, with none of the substrate dicoloration, nor encrustation which detracts from the majority of China Sea examples. A product of the legendary 1980s trawls off the isolated Rowley Shoals in far northern Western Australia, and never obtainable since. A nipponica for the connoisseur. Size: 73.8 mm (length). Grading: Gem; w/o. Data: Off Rowley Shoals, Western Australia, Australia; upon mud/sand/detritus substrate; 300-400 m; trawled; 1981. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
