Zoila venusta bakeri Heavy as a Brick !!!
71.5 mm     Mandurah, Western Australia     510,00 €
Item# 0003684729
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila venusta bakeri - Heavy as a Brick !!! , (Gatliff, 1916)
Size71.5 mm
LocalityMandurah, Western Australia
NoteVery heavy pink venusta ROV collected from 188 metres of water west southwest of Mandurah during February 2025. Classic unspotted bakeri with prominent siphons and a very narrow aperture.Unfortunately the shell been mauled by a champagne crab resulting in a broken anterior siphon and some dorsal nacre damage. These issues have been healed by a generous coat of additional nacre making the issues natural defects. Obviously a damaged shell but still good value as a gem would be priced at 4,000 euro or more. It weighs 67 grams and feels very heavy when handled. Fine.
