Solen gaudichaudi - V. Rare, Hard to Obtain , Chenu, 1843
Size
81 mm
Locality
Puerto Viejo, Atacama, Chile
Note
One nice specimen of the very rare shallow-water bivalve species Solen gaudichaudi Chenu, 1843. This is a very rare species, very difficult to obtain, one of the rarest large bivalves found in the country, and it is the only Solenidae clam found in Chile. Apparently, this species is very rare even in its habitat, restricted to subtidal waters in sandy areas at only two estuaries in northern and central Chile. This particular specimen has some damage to the border of the shell as can seen in the images, but it preserves its periostracum and the teeth in the hinge which distinguish this species from similar razor clams as Ensis macha or Ensis loboi in Chile. This specimen was washed ashore after a tidal surge and it is in very good condition for the species, as their shells are usually very eroded even in alive specimens. This is your opportunity to obtain a very rare and very difficult to get species from the southeastern Pacific.
