Zoila jeaniana jeaniana - Rufinistic Base !!! , (C. N. Cate, 1968)
Size
78.1 mm
Locality
Dirk Hartog Island.
Note
Slender and different jeaniana collected from a geodia sponge in 98 metres of water west of Dirk Hartog Island in May 2023. The shell has a pretty dorsum with distinct brown spots, a rufinistic base and attractive margins with intense black spots on a apricot background. Quite slender for a Dirk Hartog shell. It has perfect siphons but has small growth scar on it's anterior dorsum. Fine+++.
