| Note | EXTRA SPECIAL SALE - PART 5: Part five of my extra special sales comprised mainly of exceptional specimens from my private collection, (indicated with JES provenance in description). Another opportunity to acquire outstanding and unique seashells from one of the world’s pre-eminent collections. CYPRAEA COMPTONI TRENBERTHAE: (This sale commences the dispersal of my Notocypraea collection. There will be numerous exceptional Notocypraea in coming auctions, of rare forms and quality, all no longer readily available.) A superb, very large specimen. Orangish russet-brown ventrum, via which most collectors classify the form, but which, incidentally, was not a diagnostic feature of Trenberth's original description. Rich chocolate dorsum. One typical flow line to left side of dorsum. Hypermature labral margin. Size: 23.1 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Lacepede Bay, Kingston SE, South Australia, Australia; upon rock reef substrate, under slab amongst seaweed, at outer reef fringe during extreme seasonal low tide; 1984. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
