This impressive Gigantopecten fossil shell comes from the Miocene period and was found near Apt in the Luberon region of southern France.
Gigantopecten belongs to the scallop family (Pectinidae), the same family that inspired the world-famous Shell logo. While the logo reflects the elegant lines of smaller Pecten species, Gigantopecten represents their giant relative: a large, heavy shell with bold ribbing and a striking fan shape.
