Item | # 0001942282 | Family | Cassidae | Name | Echinophoria kurodai - RARE LOCALITY; SUPERB , Abbott, R.T., 1968 |
Size | 65.6 mm |
Locality | Australia |
Note | A really superb, large, extreme deep-water specimen from a rare locality. Collected during the legendary 1980s trawls off the atolls of Rowley Shoals, Western Australia, and now obtainable only from old collections. One of the BEST and cleanest specimens I have ever handled from this locality. Particularly beautiful colour: pale pink and white, with nebulous spiral bands of straw. Nothing but the most minor typical trawl loss at siphonal canal. The Western Australian form is, without doubt, the most beautiful incarnation of the species. For the Cassidae specialist whose collection yet lacks a quality example from this never to be repeated locality. Size: 65.6 mm (length). Grading: Fine+++. Data: Off Rowley Shoals, 260 km West of Broome, Western Australia , Australia; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; 300-500 m; trawled; 1982. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
