| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila ketyana hypermarginata - HYPER-FLARED MARGINS , Raybaudi 1993 |
| Size | 47.4 mm |
| Locality | Bernier Island, Carnarvon, WA |
| Note | Remarkably wide specimen (33.8 mm) with an exceptional and striking base pattern/color and thick sparkling nacre. This newly collected shell is true to its name, demonstrating a high weight/size ratio, radical corrugation of the thick, super-flared/gnarly margins and profound rounded convexity of the base. The dorsum shows rare finely dispersed dotting and a stunning base with pitch black maculae/botching. The radiant base pattern is buried in a deep veil of rich burnt orange. A standout collectors piece by any standard. Harvested by Scuba diver Callum Berry while feeding on a large purple Geodia sponge at 41 meters on a low limestone reef off Bernier Island, Carnarvon, Western Australia in late 2023. The specimen displays minor/shallow growth imperfections on the dorsum as seen in the images. Grade: F+++/GEM. |
