YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL TURN UP NEXT: HERE A RARE FORM OF AFFINIS. Or is this something else? Bahrain is in the centre of the Persian Gulf, in a huge bay. It is extremely difficult to get shells from there. Today it is quite impossible to obtain affinis from the Horn of Africa, so this mussel from distant Bahrain is currently a little treasure. Especially for lovers of bursids.
Bahrain. Under rocks at low tide. Ex. collection T. Rice.
