Zoila rosselli Big Black Brute !!!
55.5 mm     Cape Cuvier, WA     205,00 €
Item# 0003841015
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila rosselli - Big Black Brute !!! , Cotton, 1948
Size55.5 mm
LocalityCape Cuvier, WA
NoteOn our collecting trip around to Dampier and back during May 2025 we found a new population of rosselli in 68 metres of water approximately 40km west of Cape Cuvier. They were large very heavy flared shells virtually identical to the highly prized specimens collected off Bernier Island further to the south. It has algal pimples grown on it's dorsum giving it a pustulated appearance that is different and quite attractive. I attribute this to global warming with a severe hot water event occurring in the area last summer. I think the animals are too stressed to extend their mantles to maintain their dorsal nacre. Shells that survive have dorsal algal growths as it the case with this specimen. Unfortunately the majority of the shells we collected on this trip had dorsal damage due to heat stress. Fine nacre windows are evident under magnification on portion of it's dorsum. It is a very large impressive and very dark rosselli and would be priced at AUD $6,000 if free from the dorsal issues. Graded Fine.
