Byssus at pointed extremity anchors penshell into seagrass bottom. Gaping shorter side of triangular shell outline oriented upward. Colour: dark olive brown; mantle colour bright golden orange. Fisheries: Commercially exploited in and around Campeche, Mexico. Consumed locally in soups, marinated, or grilled (Ref. 271).
Habitat: Found in shallow-water seagrass beds. Behavior: Burrows in fine sand leaving only a broad posterior region exposed to the outside environment. Predator: horse conch, Pleuroploca gigantea (Ref. 271).
