There are no recent records of this species on the Cornish ERICA database but the species has been historically recorded from Rame / Eddystone Grounds and Cawsand in SW Cornwall, and so deserves inclusion here.
Scientific and European Names:
Pandora inaequivalvis, Pandora rostrata, Pandora-shell.
Location information provided by the author and from the ERICA records database for Cornwall. Scientific and Common Names used are largely gained from from the WoRMS Database.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
