AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lotto consisting of 2 volumes of the scientific encyclopedia Australian Marine Shells
Volume 1: 408 pages (including a color map split across two pages and no fewer than 44 full-page color plates with the main families such as Strombidae, Cypraeidae and Ranellidae).
Volume 2: 370 pages (including an additional color map and no fewer than 53 full-page color plates focused on neogastropods such as Muricidae, Volutidae and Conidae)
(a.k.a. Australian marine shells), written by the renowned Australian malacologist Barry Wilson.
It is one of the most authoritative and important scientific reference works globally for the study and identification of mollusks.
The complete work is divided into two volumes (Volume 1 and Volume 2), originally published in 1993 and 1994 respectively. The text describes in depth and catalogs over 2,400 species (some estimates go up to 4,200 depending on taxonomic revisions) of marine prosobranch Gastropods that populate the waters of Australia.
It is a monumental work highly sought after by collectors for both its academic value and for the presence of over 100 full-page color plates, technical drawings, and photographs of living specimens in their natural habitat.
Conditions: excellent, no marks or yellowing to report. On page 320 of Volume 2 there is a very slight delamination, almost imperceptible.
Very detailed photos serve as descriptions.
Rigid, well-protected, and traceable packaging
