hi; Thank you for the quick reply. I believe you totally on the first 2, but the pectin i am not so sure on, i have a complete set of Chlamys islandica (Muller, 1776) from tiny, up. This is vastly different. I am posting larger scans by request. take another look if you can. the new scans are at 600dpi.
