The Maple Leaf Shell (Austromitra rubiginosa), also known as the Rusty Mitre, is a species of small sea snail in the family Costellariidae. This species is recognized for its elegant, elongated shell that resembles the shape of a maple leaf. The shell is characterized by its smooth texture and reddish-brown to rusty coloration, often with subtle patterns and fine ridges.

Maple Leaf Shells are found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around Australia and New Zealand. They typically inhabit sandy and rocky substrates in shallow coastal waters. As carnivorous mollusks, they feed on small invertebrates and detritus.

All sea life specimens vary slightly in size and shape. You will receive a high quality specimen of the selected item but not the exact one pictured.
