PROSOBRANCHIA

FAMILY : RECLUZIIDAE
Recluzia sp

This very juvenile animal was the largest of several found on a piece of pumice, along with barnacles, worms and bryozoans. It is one of the two species shown below, possibly Recluzia hargravesi, although it appears that some authors believe there is only one species of Recluzia worldwide and that is Recluzia rollandiana. All the shells shown here are beached shells from Hastings Point.
