FamilyVolutidae
NameAmoria exoptanda - INCREDIBLE GIANT , Reeve, 1849
Size117.9 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteJust touching 118 mm, this is the LARGEST specimen from my private collection. Its monumental appearance is enhanced by its ultra-broad whorl peripheries. Truly superb, intricate, well-formed pattern. Beautiful background spiral bands of rosy pink-apricot. Fully mature, 'rolled' and glossed outer apertural lip and siphonal canal. Now obtainable only from old collections, and virtually never at this size and quality. A 'museum piece' of conchology, and an incredible shell 'in the hand'. Size: 117.9 mm (length). Grading: F+++. Data: Off Port Lincoln, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia; upon coarse sand/rubble substrate, at night; 26 m; dived; 1994. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
