| Item | # 0001996997 | | Family | Fasciolariidae | | Name | Africolaria rutila - RARE; SELDOM OFFERED , Watson, 1882 |
| Size | 121.1 mm, w/o |
| Locality | South Africa |
| Note | This is the BEST specimen of this rare, extreme deep-water species I have seen. Very seldom offered, especially as clean, as colourful, or of as high a quality as the current specimen. A rough species, prone to growth disruptions, erosion and substrate encrustation, the current specimen is completely devoid of all erosion and discoloration, with only a few of the typical and unavoidable light growth disruptions. Ultra-fine spiral sculpture clearly discernible. Oversize mammillate protoconch intact. Retention of original operculum. Definitely for the Fasciolariidae specialist. Size: 121.1 mm (length). Grading: F+++; w/o. Data: Off Durban, Natal, South Africa; upon mud/sand substrate; 300-400 m; trawled; 1986. |
