Deep-sea Scallops [Parvamussium]

Description

Parvamussium is a genus within the family Propeamussiidae, encompassing species of deep-sea scallops with small, delicate, and often symmetric shells. These organisms are found in a variety of deep marine environments, from continental slopes to abyssal plains. They are characterized by their thin and sometimes transparent shells, which can offer camouflage or minimize predator detection in the low-light conditions of their habitats.
