Very nice... however the beasts labelled Parvamussium alaskense are
neither Parvamussium nor Propeamussiids, they are pectinids... and
look like small Zygochlamys to me. There have been rumors of
Zygochlamys, supposedly a circumAntarctic genus only, having been
found in the Sea of Okhotsk... I am making inquiries as to this.

Parvamussium looks very like Propeamussium and shares its unribbed
exterior and ribbed interior.
