Little black shell from Bulgaria (Black Sea)
Hello,

who can hepl me?

these little black shell I found in June on the beach in Albena, Bulgaria (Black Sea).

I suspect that it might be Astarte sulcata, but I'm not sure!

Size: 11,5 x 10 x 3 mm

Thanks for your help!

It is certainly an Astarte, presumably a juvenile.  Not certain about the species.

Hello Paul,

thank you for your answer!

I have at least a confirmation of the genus.  Wink
