Description
The image displays a fossil or subfossil bivalve shell, identified as Dosinia stabilis, shown from both exterior and interior views of a single valve. The shell is subcircular to orbicular in shape, moderately compressed, and exhibits prominent, somewhat irregular, concentric growth lines on its exterior surface. The color is a uniform dull off-white to light grey or tan. The interior view reveals a smooth, off-white surface with faint indications of muscle scars and a pallial line, typical of a bivalve. A handwritten number '302' is visible on the interior.
