Tucetona pectinata (Gmelin, 1791) - comb bittersweet clam shell from the Virgin Islands.
Bivalves are bilaterally symmetrical molluscs having two calcareous, asymmetrical shells (valves) - they include the clams, oysters, and scallops. In most bivalves, the two shells are mirror images of each other (the major exception is the oysters). They occur in marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. Bivalves are also known as pelecypods and lamellibranchiates.
Bivalves are sessile, benthic organisms - they occur on or below substrates. Most of them are filter-feeders, using siphons to bring in water, filter the water for tiny particles of food, then expel the used water. The majority of bivalves are infaunal - they burrow into unlithified sediments. In hard substrate environments, some forms make borings, in which the bivalve lives. Some groups are hard substrate encrusters, using a mineral cement to attach to rocks, shells, or wood.
The fossil record of bivalves is Cambrian to Recent. They are especially common in the post-Paleozoic fossil record.
Bittersweet clams are glycymeridids (Family Glycymerididae, Cretaceous to Holocene) - they are infaunal, filter-feeding bivalves that occupy sandy substrates.
Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Bivalvia, Pteriomorphia, Arcida, Glycymerididae

I made this sparkly flower with glass pearls of different sizes, Swarovski crystals, silverlined glass bugle beads, and hundreds of tiny silverlined seed beads to make the leaves of the flower.
It's perfect to fix on to a veil for any colour scheme, or to add a bit of zing to an evening updo.
The comb is 4 inches, but the twisted wire tendrils extend out to 6 inches.

Historical note: Comb graves are a type of covered grave that are often called "tent graves." The length of the grave was covered by rocks or other materials that look like the gabled roof or comb of a building. They were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is conjectured that these graves were covered to protect them from either weather or animals, or perhaps both. While comb graves can be found in other southern states, the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee has the highest concentration of these types of graves.

Hericium coralloides. Upright because they were growing behind loose bark, which I rudely removed for my viewing pleasure.
