Lion Paw Matched Pair Polished 5″ – 6″

Product Description

Lions Paw Scallops are bivalve Mollusks (a soft-bodied, legless, invertebrate animal that usually secretes a calcareous shell). Bivalve means, they have an upper and matching lower shell that is hinged together.  Scallops move by opening and closing their hinged upper and lower shells; this action jettisons out water allowing the animal to move through its off shore water environment. The Lions Paw is a heavy shell. The shell color varies from dark or bright red, orange and yellow. The Lions Paw ranges from the Gulf of Mexico, across the Caribbean to along the Atlantic facing shores of North and Northeast South America.  Some blemishes and predator marks on outside of shell are common.
