| Item | # 0001941424 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Zoila perlae - NEAR WRS SMALL , Lopez & Chiang, 1975 |
| Size | 39.4 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | This exquisite perlae possesses that essential sought by the Zoila connoisseur - diminutive size. Only around 1.5 mm lie between this example and the current WRS small specimen, (verified at wrs-shells.com upon 8 December 2017), with the current example being vastly superior to the WR specimen. Beautiful rich colours: dorsal ground of caramel-tinged ivory, becoming rich pinkish peach upon the columellar side; sporadic tan maculae; pinkish orange spire; dark chestnut terminals. Markedly steep dorsal acclivity, creating a definite ?mariellae-like? shape. There is one small irregularity, hidden very low upon the columellar side towards the marginal periphery, (see above right image). Although several perlae have been recently obtained by ROV, few approach the exquisite, jewel-like nature of the current example. Size: 39.4 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Dampier, Western Australia, Australia; upon sand/rubble/sponge substrate, upon edge of depth gradient; 80-90 m; ROV; 2017. |
