Australia (WA) › Shark Bay

Here is a wonderful beauty of a Cypraea jeaniana aurata from Australia. This shell is not collected anymore and only comes from old collections. Trawled by fishermen at 150 meters, off Shark Bay, Western Australia, 1981. The size is large at 81.9mm and this specimen has a nice humped dorsum. It is F++ due to one small well healed scar near the spire.I tried to take several pictures of this area so that you can see the mark. The shell has no chips, cracks, or narce lifts

Trawled by fishermen at 150 fathoms. A super nice live taken beauty, perfect dorsum, just a few mud inclusions along one side & between a few teeth which is typical of this species. Hard to get these shells now!

Panama › Gobernadora Island

Found under rock at low tide. A live taken GIANT shell with several narce blisters & water spots on the dorsum. This shell looks nicer in hand than how it shows in the pictures. A very rare species now that is no longer being found most likely due to habitat pollution.
