| Item | # 0002086300 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Cypraea xanthodon - RARE WHITE BASE , Gray in Sowerby I, 1832 |
| Size | 28.6 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| 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 XANTHODON: The above images illustrate just how different the rare white margin / ventrum form, (left), is from typical examples, (right). Heavy, cream-white marginal callosity. Milky chocolate marginal maculae, subsumed in shell material. This is the ONLY white base xanthodon I have to offer. Definitely for the Cypraeidae specialist interested in rare variations. Size: 28.6 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Piccaninny Rocks, Queensland, Australia; upon reef substrate, under coral slab at low tide; 1980. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
