Solid shell covered with small curved spines up to three inches wide. It's difficult to distinguish from the spiny cockle, but it has 18 - 20 ribs and the bases of the spines - if they're not worn down - tend to be joined together, whereas in the spiny cockle, they're separate.
Found at Pembrey Beach, Carmarthenshire
