Beautiful, golden scallop shell.
Pecten jacobaeus
Origin: Mediterranean sea
Size and colour may vary.
Scallops swim by first slowly opening the two shell halves, sucking water in, and then repeatedly closing the two halves quickly. Each time the scallop closes the shell halves, the water is expelled with great force. So, scallops actually create their own jet drive!
