Zoila friendii vercoi RARE VARIANT
72.1 mm Daw Island, Israelite Bay, WA 225,00 €  |
|
| Item | # 0004098413 |
| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila friendii vercoi - RARE VARIANT , Schilder 1930 |
| Size | 72.1 mm |
| Locality | Daw Island, Israelite Bay, WA |
| Note | Richly pigmented and rare vercoi variant of this subspecies. The deep water specimen exhibits impressive patterning, heavy intense spotting, excellent morphological features and an impressive hyper-glossy nacre. Not your "run-of-the-mill" specimen. A sight to behold in hand, this Zoila essentially unique. Super shape/symmetry with moderate inflation and rostration. The columellar dorsum and lateral wall spotting is exceptional as captured in imaging. The patterning and features of this primeval specimen suggest it may be a conchological intermediate linking vercoi with thersites, although the currently known distribution ranges of the two species do not overlap. Could it be a transitional specimen between thersites and contraria...or rare variant? Collected by Scuba diver at 54 meters resting on sponges on a reef wall in the Eastern Edge of Recherche Archipelago off Daw Island, Israelite Bay, Western Australia in 2021. The shell has no detectable visible or palpable flaws. Grade: GEM. |
