Item History & Price

Reference Number: Avaluer:31663020Product Type: Shells
Modified Item: No
Original Description:
Umbilia eximia (Sowerby I, 1845) forma frankstonensis 80.4 mm, Middle Miocene, Victoria, now available. 
This is a particularly exquisite specimen of this rare form, which is far rarer than eximia, from which it is differentiated by its shorter teeth which do not extend as far onto the columellar side of the base, and occurring in very few locations. Exhibiting gloss, a relatively uniform greyish brown patina, extremely well-developed margins and exceptionally well-defined, sho...rt teeth, this complete piece (with minor touch-ups to hairline cracks) is suitable for the most advanced fossil cowrie collection. 
With no structural damage (shallow to very shallow marks only) and with the postero-lateral  and lateral growth marks obtained in life, this fossil is top quality and the best offered of this form on SeaGems. Note the interesting lateral placement of the umbilicus relative to the posterior canal, a feature seen in comparatively few specimens. There is an exceedingly minor flake to the dorsal part of the anterior canal, otherwise the canals are perfect. A beautiful piece in superb condition.
Please examine photos carefully as they form an important part in depicting the condition of the shell by showing the shell from all angles. Comes with full data. Happy bidding!
