Pterynotus bednalli ULTRA-RARE WHITE GIANT
84.8 mm     Australia     156,00 €
Item# 0004011514
FamilyMuricidae
NamePterynotus bednalli - ULTRA-RARE WHITE GIANT , Brazier, J.W., 1878
Size84.8 mm, w/o
LocalityAustralia
NoteAn extremely RARE ultra-large specimen of the PURE WHITE, (pigmentless), form – a legendary rarity amongst Australian seashells. The ONLY white specimen I have to offer. Of the few known pure white specimens, the majority are rather small, and represent semi-adult examples. I have only encountered 3-4 pure white specimens of this enormous size during my entire career. Characteristic marked solidity exhibited by specimens from this rough locality. Graded ‘Fine’ as it exhibits typical varical loss, yet overall the varices retain balanced proportions, and the specimen remains a good illustration of this extremely rare form. This specimen is not perfect – Cape Leveque giants never are – but we must accept what Nature offers where certain extremey rare shells are concerned. Not freshly collected for over two decades, and almost never offered. Data: Off Cape Leveque, Kimberley Region, Western Australia, Australia; upon reef substrate; 14-24 m; dived; 1994. Size: 84.8 mm. Grading: Fine; w/o. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
