"Thanks for sharing the info on Argopecten gibbus!
Indeed it is a very nice shell - the weird thing is that it is virtually impossible to obtain specimens as it is one of those shells "too common to be sold"..... Recently I talked to Bob Lipe and he said the same thing about it. Ok, it is common for people living in Florida, but not to the rest of us! For example, I have almost 50 thousand pictures on my website and just one of A. gibbus.
Best regards
