| Note | During our ROV activity we run across quite a few very dead shells laying on the bottom. When shells die at depth, they are not worn away by wave action as wave action does not extend much beyond 120 metres or so. They simply lay there until they are carried away by a hermit crab, dissolve back into sea water or are buried to become fossils. We retain some of these, clean them up and offer them on the auction as we feel someone will appreciate them as a scientific specimen. This shell was found in May 2024 in 110 metres of water off Bernier Island, Western Australia. A nice example of a dwarf with perfect siphons and a faint glossy apricot base. The nacre is worn due to erosion and it has a soft growth fold to the top of the dorsum. |
