Linda,
I too have a half specimen from north western australia collected by the
Marrow family.
I see no reason why it couldn't occur in Qld as well, but cannot recall
having seen specimens other than NWA.
When I can find my copy of Kev Lamprells bivalve books I will check what he
says.
souverbii is quite a distinctive shell to F. fimbria which is the only other
comparable species.
