Zoila ketyana bataviensis - Best of the Best !!! , Lorenz & H. Morrison, 2001
Size
54.0 mm
Locality
Zeewijk Channel, Abrolhos Is.
Note
Very exceptional bataviensis from our personal collection. Collected in September 2018 from a geodia sponge in 52 metres in the Zeewijk Channel to the east of the Southern Group in the Abrolhos Islands off Geraldton. Magic shell with dark brown spots distinctly highlighted on a china white dorsum. The shell has an incredible base with strong dark markings on a burnt orange base and high china white sides. Most would grade the shell gem but to be conservative I grade it Gem-. It is truly a very exceptional marginata. GEM-.
