| Size | 70.5 mm |
| Locality | Zuytdorp Cliffs, WA |
| Note | Remarkable subspecies from the west coast of Australia featuring a strong dark dorsal pattern and highlighted by a deep lustrous nacre.

The specimen also displays a gleaming black/brown and cream/brown base color accentuated by well-developed aperture teeth and is a real "looker." The praeclara was taken from a sponge nested on sand/rock substrate by a ROV at 85-90 meters, Zuytdorp Cliffs,, Western Australia in 2/2020. The specimen exhibits a small subnacre wobble on the labral dorsum and a series of smaller subnacre delaminations on the posterior ramp walls as seen in the images. Also evident, is a small/shallow reglazed cluster of nacre windows as seen in image No. 3 toward the anterior extremity, labral side. Grade: F++/F+++. |
