Description

The reality of the name Z. ambiguus become apparent when one examines the range of shapes and amount of patterning is examined. One specimen is on the plain and rounded end of the shape range, the other somewhere nearing the ornate squarrish end. Others can be highly decorative with distinct angles. If we could acclaim shellfish as artists then these would certainly have a following.
