I couldn’t really tell whether this was dead or alive, presuming live as it was the right way up on the bottom of a rock pool. The body was bloated and hard.
Another specimen of this rare endemic form, acquired from an old Port Hedland collection. Measured 100.4mm and was live taken on an intertidal coral reef during low tide, 1954. Interesting dark patches on the extremities of the shell
Cowrie I found at beach today not seen one like it before wondering what species it is and it’s rarity.
