| Family | Volutidae |
| Name | Ericusa papillosa - INCREDIBLE = WRS GIANT , Swainson, W., 1822 |
| Size | 172.2 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | This is THE papillosa of the JES Collection, and unquestionably ranks amongst the finest known specimens. Monumental size – essentially equal to the current World Record Size (172.37 mm). Spectacular colour and dense pattern of the highest aesthetic merit. Exemplary quality for a deep-water trawled shell of such advanced age, with nothing but one restricted loss at the columellar siphonal canal. Definitely for the most advanced Volutidae specialist, or dedicated collector of giant-sized shells. Data: Off Portland, Barwon South Region, Victoria, Australia; upon sand substrate; 40-50 m; trawled; 1981. Size: * mm. Grading: Fine+++. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
