what is it?
De Tere platschelp ( Macomangulus tenuis ) is een zeeschelp. De schelp is dunschalig, breekbaar en plat, hoewel minder dunschalig en breekbaar dan de rechtsgestreepte platschelp. De top ligt ongeveer in het midden. De achterkant is iets toegespitst. Het schelpoppervlak is vrijwel glad met alleen fijne groeilijntjes.
