Zoila rosselli rosselli - BLACK BEAUTY , Cotton 1948
Size
55.4 mm
Locality
Bernier Is., Western Australia
Note
Awesome specimen showing dark brown/black margins and a jet black dorsum with a classic mid-doral window. The shell shows sharp extremities, humped dorsum and criss/crossed patterned window. The rosselli presents with an excellent weight/size ratio, perfect extremities and exceptional flaring of the margins. Collected while feeding on purple brick sponge on a low profile limestone reef at 42 meters west of Bernier Island, Western Australia by diver Daniel Joya in 10/2023. The shell has a mini-subnacre concavity on the anterior ramp, typical blisters (delaminations) seen primarily on the labral base along with slight palpable roughness on the posterior extremity base. Grade: F+++.
