Umbilia capricornica capricornica EXQUISITE
66.6 mm     Swains Reef, Queensland, AU     12,00 €
Item# 0004272880
FamilyCypraeidae
NameUmbilia capricornica capricornica - EXQUISITE , Lorenz 1989
Size66.6 mm
LocalitySwains Reef, Queensland, AU
NoteExquisite form, excellent symmetry and strongly inflated body characterize this desirable specimen. The shell is characterised by intense lateral wall spotting, a defined dorsal line and thick impressive nacre gloss. The shell shows a lovely diffused dorsal pattern, with an anterior groove on the nude/beige pigmented moderately calloused and solid extremities. There is some moderate palpable tuberculation of the margins evident. This species is difficult to obtain from Australian deep water after changes in the prawn trawler dredging requirements in Queensland. This shell was trawled at 120-150 meters by a prawn boat south of the Capricorn Channel on Swains Reef, Queensland, Australia in 2015. The shell shows one micro silt stain between the posterior columellar aperture teeth. Grade: GEM minus.
