Ormer, Abalone

Family Haliotidae

REMARKS May be 10 cm long. As many of the names indicate (including the curiously precise Provençal oreille de Saint Pierre, and auriglia de San Pietro said to be used in Monaco, and aoureillo de cat, at Agde) the shell looks like an ear. Note the row of holes. The inside of the shell is pearly, the outside rough and brown or greenish.
