Beautiful matched pair of Lindapecten muscosus personally collected from the Dry Tortugas during lobster trapping operations in 180 ft depths. This specimen displays exceptional dark maroon to chocolate coloration with strong creamy white patterning across both valves.

The shell features outstanding symmetry, crisp radial ribs, and well-developed marginal spines. The contrasting pattern and deep coloration make this a very attractive and eye-catching example of this desirable deep-water.
