| Item | # 0003296115 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila jeaniana praeclara - ELEGANT , Lorenz 2020 |
| Size | 76.6 mm |
| Locality | Kalbarri, Western Australia |
| Note | Elegant Zoila subspecies with superb form and coloration. The shell displays a heavy weight/size ratio, crisp contoured sharp extremities, moderate tuberculation of the margins and sparse spotting of the lateral walls. The specimen shows an exceptionally dark dorsal black/brown dorsal blotch over the flesh-toned beige body color and a shimmering black base with well-developed aperture teeth. The praeclara was nudged from a sponge by a ROV nested on a sand/rubble substrate at 84 meters, northwest of Kalbarri, Western Australia in 2/2020. The photographs of the shell do not due it justice. The specimen displays a subnacre, fully glazed-over wobble/disruption on the lateral wall, and a self-repaired mini-chip on the posterior extremity channel tip, both on the labral side. Grade: F+++. |
