| Item | # 0003056773 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila kostini southern form - Pretty Apricot !!! , Lorenz & Chiapponi, 2007 |
| Size | 63 mm |
| Locality | Augusta, WA |
| Note | During our ROV activity
we run across quite a few
very dead shells laying on
the bottom. When shells
die at depth, they are not
worn away by wave action
as wave action does not
extend much beyond 120
metres or so. They simply
lay there until they are
carried away by a hermit
crab, dissolve back into
sea water or a buried to
become fossils. We retain
some of these, clean them
up and offer them on the
auction as we feel
someone will appreciate
them as a scientific
specimen. Specimen
collected from 145 metres
of water south of Augusta
in January 2023. The
shell has intact siphons
but has lost nacre due to
abrasion. Dead Collected
Shell !!! |
