Neotrapezium sublavigtum - Best Quality , (Lamarck, 1819)
Size
43.3 mm
Locality
Singapore, Pulau Ubin
Note
F+++/GEM. Very high quality for this species which I self collected. As it lives inside oyster rocks, I have to break open the rock to obtain it. Took much effort during collecting to keep the lip intact. Excellent perfect lip and ligament fully intact holding the two valves naturally. Retain the lovely dark colour baby bivalves shape which contrast well with the main shell. Found alive inside oyster rocks in mangrove wetland, 10th June 2023.
