Zoila jeaniana walkeri Dwarf !!!
54.6 mm     Bernier Island, WA     255,00 €
Item# 0003609171
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila jeaniana walkeri - Dwarf !!! , Hiscock 2012
Size54.6 mm
LocalityBernier Island, WA
NoteTo the west of Bernier Island off Shark Bay the friendii complex shows incredible variation. In depths up to 80 metres of water we see the highly prized Bernier Black Tops which are very large with very dark to black dorsa, ink black bases and very high cream sides with spectacular black spots. We have collected a 104mm specimen from this area. Between 150 to 200 metres we find large aurata. These are different to specimens we see to the north and to the south. Typically they are reasonable slender for an aurata and have very flat cream bases with the margin colour and spotting extending onto the margins of the base creating a pretty trim to the base. Between these two populations in depths of 95 to 120 metres we find a population of dwarf jeaniana which show huge variation in size and colour. We have collected shells which have varied from 31 to 79mm in length and vary from shells I classify as aurata to jeaniana to gold jeaniana and the odd aureabasis. I believe this is a hybrid population with two populations of friendii having been isolated from each other by lower sea levels during a past glacial period then re-merged in the current inter-glacial period. This crabbed specimen was collected by ROV from 95 metres of water West of Bernier Island. An attractive shell with distinct tan spots on a white dorsum and an apricot colored base. Both siphons are intact but has obvious dorsal nacre wear.
