Misha Posted October 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Tidgy's Dad said: M. prolificus is now synonymized with M. mucronatus. Really? interesting. They seem to have quite different morphologies, this specimen has a much wider interarea that separates the two valves while in others that is just a thin line separating the shells along the hinge. Do you know why that is? I hope I described that correctly, I don't have a photo of the back of the specimen available to me at this moment Link to comment
Tidgy's Dad Posted October 11, 2022 It may be a different genus entirely. When you have time, PM me pictures of the hinge line and the other valve. Link to comment
