| Item | # 0003990280 | | Family | Volutidae | | Name | Notovoluta verconis - RARE; BIG; EXCEPTIONAL , Tate, 1892 |
| Size | 41 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | The LARGEST, FINEST and LAST specimen of the JES Collection of this very RARE, endemic South Australian species, from the ‘old days’ of deep-diving. Beautiful subtle colour, and superb pattern: ultra-fine triangular markings in pale caramel across a lemon-ivory ground; rich yellow-orange apertural interior. The species is far rarer than most understand, and, with no fresh specimens having been collected for almost three decades, and being obtainable only from choice old collections, collectors are now beginning to appreciate the rarity and desirability of high quality specimens. Data: Thorny Passage, off Taylor Island, Spencer Gulf, South Australia, Australia; upon coarse brown sand substrate, at night; 22 m; dived; 1999. Size: 41 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
