| Item | # 0003409640 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Cypraea tigris - RARE AUSTRALIAN GIANT , ENDANGERED SPECIE |
| Size | 99.2 mm |
| Locality | Onslow, N.W. Western Australia |
| Note | RARE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN GIANT......ENDANGERED SPECIE......Tigris are rarely spotted along the Western Australian coast. In fact, a specimen nudging 100mm is extremely rare, to say nothing of an endangered specie. Explained by the taking of this gem in the early 1970's. A stunning specimen with wonderful high white margins laced with a soft pastel blue. Palatial spotting to upper deck. Lovingly curated and as nice as the day it came to the surface. Grade: Gem. Provenance: from my own collection (formerly the Back Family Collection, taken on one of the family expeditions). Intertidal collected at low tide in a reef pool on the outer, western side of Thevenard Island, off Onslow, N.W. Western Australia. |
