| Size | 132 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | SPECIAL GIANTS SALE: In this auction I am offering a special selection of giant specimens, all from the ?old days? of collecting, with many now being obtainable only from old collections. Most exhibit the imperfections associated with extreme age and size, whilst some are virtually perfect, but, in every case, they are offered upon account of their sheer size. CASSIS FIMBRIATA: A real, old age monster, in very good condition considering its greatly advanced size and age. Typical light growth disruptions to body whorl. Typical sand abrasion to ventrum, always present in old age examples. One substantial area of loss during life at the anterior, (detailed image available upon request), yet this does not detract from the overall impact or display perspectives of the specimen. Ultra-rich colours and superb pattern. Mammillate protoconch intact. Size: 132 mm (length). Grading: F. Data: Off Kingston SE, South Australia, Australia; upon reef/rubble substrate; 40-80 m; craypot; 1983. |
