    Commonest bivalves on a beach yesterday (clockwise from top left) : Seven x Cerastoderma edule Seven x Lucinoma borealis Five x Chamelea gallina (?) One Spisula solida One Arctica islandica These shells are found on many sandy beaches in the Ross of Mull, but the relative abundances vary a lot from place to place, even on apparently similar beaches near to each other... @dantheclamman #Shells #Mull #Conchology #Biominerals
