Art & Helmut,
Yes, I saw that record as well but the common locality and similar specific
designation is coincidental, as this shell is nothing like a Amoria. It
appears to be either a Teramachia or Turrid.

Scott;-
Rice lists as an Amoria: rinkensi by Poppe, 1986. It is from Western
Australia and Rice notes: "Not offered recently".
Runs about 74mm. Maybe it's what you are looking for.
