Hi David,

I would agree with Steve's suggestion.  See presentation of A. irradians at

Although your color form is represented, we would certainly encourage you to
post photos.

I read there were about 350 species of scallops.  I have a spotted a
variety that seems rare on our Long Island, NY, beaches.  It has 21
ribs. While most of the shell is brown, the center rib is entirely
white, -4 and +4 from the center are also white in the distal
portion, and so are ribs -7,-8,-9 and +7,+8,+9.  Can anyone identify
this species?  Thanks.
