, the ridges of the left valve are sharp, even and regularly spaced. Moreover, the inner face is marked with grooves reflecting the ridges on the outer face. These ridges derive thus from narrow commarginal folds concerning the entire shell thickness. They become closer with growth, and sometimes the flanks of each narrow fold fuse so that the inner grooves disappear (unpublished data). In the prismatic right valve there is only a very faint and rather irregular commarginal fluting which derives from the commarginal array of prisms, and becomes more pronounced in the periphery where commarginal ridges begin to shape as in

: Shell thin, valves not gaping. Lower (right) valve flat, upper (left) valve convex. Ornamentation commarginal, affecting only the external surface, very fine ridges or lamellae covering the left valve from beak to margin in juveniles and adults, and the right valve only after the juvenile stage. Posterior auricles poorly delimited. Byssal notch without ctenolium under the anterior auricle of the right valve, widely opened in the juvenile, but gradually closing and finally overlapped by the dorsal expansion of its lower edge in the adult. Test principally calcitic, with an aragonite layer restricted to the area inside of the pallial line.

). On the right valve, the adductor scar is bean­shaped, with two adjacent parts placed one above the other. It is clearly defined, and the size of the two parts is equivalent. On the left valve, the scar is larger and less clear, but three sub­equivalent parts seem to be outlined. Two of them are posterior and superposed, and the third scar lies anterior to the ventral one. All three correspond to the muscular sectors responsible for the three basic functions in byssally attached pectinids: rapid adduction of valves (“quick” striated muscle), slow adduction (“catch” smooth muscle), and byssal attachment (byssus and foot retractor). Unfortunately, given the poor preservation of specimens, it was not possible to precisely identify where the corresponding muscles inserted.

The outer shell surface of the specimens shows the fingerprint of the hydrothermal environment in which they grew, i.e., an aggressive and unstable environment, with fluids rich in metal ions ready to precipitate over the shell. The specimens all had their upper (left) valve coated with a ferromanganese black deposit, thicker in umbonal area. The black deposit also affected the lower (right) valve, where it was thinner and less regularly distributed (

). Damage to the shells increases with growth and size of the shell. When the individuals are small (specimens 2 and 3), the shell is blackened but its outer surface only is affected, and the outline is regular. In contrast, the valves of the larger specimens are affected on both sides, as the outer disturbances are reflected on the inner shell face. For example, specimens 4 and 5 are more or less deformed by a great number of bumps, and moreover the periphery of the disk is densely covered with countless particles which were trapped along the growing edge and became embedded into calcification (
