Zoila jeaniana walkeri - Strong Gold Base !!! , Hiscock, M., 2012
Size
65.1 mm
Locality
Dirk Hartog Island, WA
Note
Stunning golden jeaniana collected from 98 metres of water west of Dirk Hartog Island off Shark Bay in Western Australia. Collected from a orange elk horn sponge during June 2023. Classic gold tan spots on a pale dorsum with a brilliant red gold base and dark gold siphon trim.
The shell has been bitten by a fish resulting in a perforation in it's labial side and damage to the columnar side and posterior siphon. The animal has re-glazed and healed these issues with additional nacre. Stunning in dorsal and basal display. Fine+
