Hi all and specially Zeide,
here goes some photos of Anodontites trapezialis. I have holding them in the lab for reproduce and produce pearl. I wish you enjoy it.

Thank you Ricardo,

This is a white nacred anodonta, right?

Hi Zeide,
it is curious that in the edge of the shell, the nacre colour changes to white-green (I think that is the correct form to write it). I will send some photos with the inner side.
Regards
