This shell was trawlled by Taiwanese trawlers. These shells are no longer being brought in as they have been banned from fishing in Australian waters. Coweries like these come on the market from older collections. This is from my private collection, and a very rare shell. In fine +++ condition. It is 83 mm and runs larger than most you will find on the market.
