| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila venusta shoal cape form. |
| Size | 66.0 mm |
| Locality | Shoal Cape, S.W. Australia. |
| Note | A nice representative of this venusta form from the Shoal Cape population. The only reference to this population is in "AUSTRALIA'S SPECTACULAR COWRIES" page 268. This Shoal Cape population is rare today and typical specimens normally have silting and nacre windows on the dorsum. It is not really appreciated just how rare the Shoal Cape venusta is to obtain in a reasonable quality. The location is a high energy ocean region with heavy swells and currents, with constant turbulent water. Even the best of the well known BLACK TOPS and RED TOP venusta from this region have at least some fine to heavy silt pimples and nacre windows. due to the high energy region, they live in. This specimen is no exception with micro silting and micro nacre windows, hence a FINE++ grading. The unique markings like this specimen are one of the characteristics of this population and the lovely mauve coloured saddles over the canals. Diver taken in 8M. on reef ledge, Shoal Cape, S.W.Australia. ALL WHITE REFLECTIONS AND DULL AREAS ARE FROM THE CAMERA LIGHTING. |
