Very Rarely Seen Cypraea Zoila Platypyga 70. 7 Mm Victoria Australia




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:42643339Modified Item: No
Product Type: Shells
Original Description:
Zoila platypyga (McCoy, 1876), 70.7 mm southern Victoria, Australia, now available. Extremely rarely on offer, this superb Middle Miocene species is in excellent condition given its age. This shell is intact, with a hairline crack and the obligatory few blemishes that inevitably occur on a fossil this age. Minor shell fragment inside the aperture (have not attempted to remove it, as I do not want to cause damage) that can be possibly be removed if so desired. Heavy and mature, with sup...erb intact canals and an inflated dorsum.PS. I am aware of the Gigantocypraea name - personally, I believe this taxon ought to remain in Zoila; note for instance the dentition, which is extremely similar to that of the contemporary Umbilia eximia. This, to me, indicates a close evolutionary relationship between the two, possibly at a time reasonably shortly after which the genera had diverged. International and combined shipping available. If you won multiple items, please wait for a combined invoice from me before paying.
Shipping/postage: Shipping in Australia is fixed at 10 AUD, which includes packaging, handling and tracked postage. International shipping to Europe is fixed at 33 AUD which includes packaging, handling and tracked postage. Shipping to North America and most of Asia is fixed at 27.50 AUD, which includes same. Bidders from other regions, please contact me for details.
Once I have posted, shipping time is out of my control and may vary depending on country/region. However, please do inquire if your parcel is unreasonably late, and I will assist to the best of my abilities. 
I ship once a week.
NB: If you want no tracking, which will deduct 5 AUD from your cost, please contact me before paying so I can invoice you the revised amount.  Insurance also available upon request. Parcels weighing above 500 grams will add to postage costs, please inquire. 
Item Condition: I always try to describe an item as thoroughly as possible, but I strongly urge to examine photos carefully and please ask questions if you need to know more.
