Orientation[edit]

I took the liberty of overwriting a horizontally flipped version as I personally had just recently posted the original file (of this page) and the image had not yet been used elsewhere on any of the wikis. If I'd done a flip of an established image posted by another editor or currently in use, I likely would have uploaded under new filename.

I was inspired to do so upon closely examining and comparing to...

...as it appeared to have the opposite orientation. I'm not a scallop expert so I'm seeking the advice of someone working on the Scallop article.

The flipped orientation is required for pending posted questions to make sense: Photography_workshop#Other options and Scallop#Anatomy_question. Please leave it as is until Invertzoo and/or others — with knowledge of mollusks —have had a chance to respond.
