White Bubble Shell Papawera zelandiaeObserver
memopobDescription
Local samples with a thin brown periostracum.
Largest 23mm long. An observation: Shells in Golden Bay are generally a little rounder in profile than their counterparts in the north of the North Is. It's not some specific difference, just local variation.
