Item | # 0002273143 | Family | Olividae | Name | Ancillista velesiana - OUTSTANDING GIANT , Iredale, T., 1936 |
Size | 102.4 mm |
Locality | Australia |
Note | The BEST giant specimen from my private collection, and one of the best giant examples I have ever seen. Very rare size, approaching the limit for the species, and exceedingly rare at this quality for such advanced size and age. The shell of this endemic eastern Australian species is incredibly delicate, and virtually always suffers some damage, especially in examples of advanced size and age. The current specimen, by contrast, is of exceptional quality. Most collectors will not appreciate how difficult it is to obtain a specimen of this size and quality. Rich, fully stable colour after thirty years of meticulous curation. A velesiana for the connoisseur. Size: 102.4 mm (length). Grading: F++++. Data: Off Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia; upon sand substrate; 120 m; trawled; 1983. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London. |
