We love the pattern on this shell. This is a Wavy Volute (Amoria undulata) from Tasmania. Adults can grow to 121mm in length, although 80-90mm is more typical. This species lays their eggs in a hollow cylinder attached to their substrate.

And if you think the waves on their shells are impressive, check out the waves on their bodies!
