Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:4646448 |
On offer is a large, highly globose Umbilia armeniaca (Verco, 1912), F+++/GEM, 98.6 mm, from southern Australia. Umbilia species, including U. armeniaca, have not been trawled in any quantity in over a year as the methods of trawling have changed so that the benthic-dwelling fauna is now only occasionally brought up as by-catch. In future, all Umbilia will almost certainly be more difficult to obtain. This shell is in very good condition for its size - no unsightly growth marks, a stun...ning ultra-inflated shape and very decent size. Please see photos for more information about the condition of this piece. Comes with full data. Happy bidding!
