A striking specimen of Pecten subnodosa, a large and highly decorative bivalve belonging to the Pectinidae family.

Measuring 150 mm and weighing 420 g, this shell has an impressive broad fan-shaped form, with strongly radiating ribs extending from the hinge toward the outer margin. The surface shows a rich combination of reddish-brown, cream and white tones, with fine linear patterning that emphasizes the shell’s natural symmetry and sculptural structure.

The robust shell and wide proportions give this specimen considerable visual presence, while the pronounced ribs and gently undulating edge create the elegant architectural appearance typical of large scallops.

With its substantial size, attractive coloration and classic fan-shaped geometry, this is a beautiful specimen for a shell collection, natural-history cabinet or decorative display.
