    1. It's sort of like a scallop, but smaller and not like a scallop. Hope that clears it up. ;P Posted 3 years ago

''Anomia simplex'', the common jingle shell, is a typical species of bivalve mollusc in the family of Anomiidae, sharing attributes to blue mussels, American oysters, and bay scallops. ''Anomia simplex'' can be found in shallow waters, typically estuaries, mainly along the Atlantic Coast of North America; however, they can range from as far north as the coast of Nova Scotia, and as far south as the coast of Brazil.
