NameUmbilia armeniaca andreyi - Small But Solid !!! , Lorenz & Beals, 2013

LocalitySouth Augusta
NoteDuring 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 are 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. Very dead shell collected south of Augusta from 145 metres of water during January 2023. It has significant nacre loss but has kept it's colour. As seen in photos it has a small hole to posterior dorsum and a significant dorsal growth disruption. Shallow water andreyi are significantly smaller than those collected in depths greater than 200 metres.
