Nabiel need some help please
Hey there, any one can give me the english and latin name for this one?

<img src="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/nabiel_baawad/20090705_Ebay/ssn0032-3.jpg" alt="http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p212/nabiel_baawad/20090705_Ebay/ssn0032-3.jpg" style="border:0" />

I'm looking around in internet and still can not find. Is this a rare sea shell?

thanks  <span class="petit">--Last edited by nabiel on 2009-07-15 00:36:41 --</span>

It is called the Bear's Paw Clam, Hippopus hippopus, it is a pretty and fairly common shell but very large specimens are scarce, i.e. over 150mm.
