Is it at a research grade ?
Hi @antony-avrithis ! Yes, this is at research grade level. I just need to have someone confirm the ID, but everything else looks great!
@jbauer or @samantha-ocon can either of you confirm the ID on this one? Looks like an arc clam to me, but I’m not confident in my ability to identify it to a genus.
Ok , thank you I will wait ! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷!🙂
Hey @antony-avrithis I agree with @vperez here. I think we can pretty confidently say this is from the Family Arcidae. Take a look at some arcid species and let us know that makes sense. Like we discussed, the literature is pretty scant from Kos and I don’t have the expertise to assign it to a genus, but hopefully someone else can (maybe @kristopher-kusnerik could help here).
Hi @vperez @smoran @antony-avrithis, I agree it’s likely Arcidae & would suggest looking at genera on the Neogene Atlas: https://neogeneatlas.net/families/Arcidae/
Some friends who are collectors too agree with the identification
@vperez @jbauer @smoran Yeah you are right , everything fixed 😄
Thanks @antony-avrithis!
