Summary

Description

Caribachlamys sentis (Reeve, 1853) - exterior of a left valve of the scaly scallop, 1.15 cm across at its widest.

Family Pectinidae (Triassic to Holocene) - the scallops are epifaunal filter-feeding bivalves. They are famous for their ability to escape predators by swimming via “clapping” their two shells together. Scallops occupy shallow- to deep-water, tropical to polar marine environments.
