Need ID: which Bivalve? 4 - giovanni arusha - 03-17-2008
Hi, can anybody ID this Bivalve?

I got it in Zanzibar (Tanzania): it is about 1 cm in size.
Please need Latin and English names.
Many thanks in advance,
Giovanni

My first impulse was Pectinidae, and it might be. But after a little further consideration I suspect that this just might be a small juvenile Spondylus nicobaricus.
