| Item | # 0004231950 | | Family | Cypraeidae | | Name | Umbilia capricornica capricornica , Lorenz 1989 |
| Size | 73.5 mm |
| Locality | Queensland, Australia |
| Note | Super glossy, excellent form and strongly inflated body characterize this specimen. The species continues to be more difficult to obtain from the East Australian coast deeper water. Superb lateral wall spotting, distinct thick tapered dorsal line define this specimen. The shell shows a lovely sprinkled dorsal pattern, with a classic anterior concavity groove on a dark caffe latte/beige/nude pigmented strongly calloused anterior extremity. There is modest tuberculation of the margins evident. This heavy weight/size ratio shell (42.1 grams) was trawled at 100-120 meters by a prawn boat between Swains Reef, and Saumarez Reefs, Coral Sea, Queensland, Australia in 2018. The shell shows some slight silt stains on the aperture teeth, a few pits on the posterior columellar base and negligible white flecks on the posterior siphon, difficult to see in images. Grade: F++/F+++. |
