Kev,
You stated the following in one of your posts
"Tellnidae Without a doubt
these are the most colorful of all the bivalvia and (in my opinion) far
more desirably than all the gastropod groups."
While I agree the Tellinidae are quite colorful I will put my beloved
Pectinidae up against your Tellinidae as the most colorful bivalve family.
For variations in disc shape, ribbing structure, microsculpture and color,
I believe the Pectinidae can't be surpassed.
Good hunting on your trip and let me know what Pectinidae you find up
North.
Regards,
Charlie
