Hi our friend David Cilia thinks it might be a Pecten dunkeri Mayer, 1864.
I'm also trying to find trace of the description & author of a Chamidae
which I received as Chama philippii coming from Pauvrelay-France (Bassin
de la Loire - miocene)is anyone familiar with this species ?
Regards,

Eddy WILMET
