Scallop shell close-up with ridges and grooves

The scallop shell exhibits a circular form with a ridged and grooved texture. Its coloration blends orange and white, featuring gradations of light and dark hues. Thin, irregular lines form a zigzag or wave-like pattern along the shell's sides. Diagonal, darker lines mark the lower portion. The shell's structure suggests its function as both protection for a mollusk and a means of locomotion through water.
