EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a rare and intricately patterned Arca (Barbatia) novaezelandiae mollusc, also known as the New Zealand ark clam or Barbatia clam. Discovered during the Terra Nova Expedition led by the renowned British explorer Robert Falcon Scott from 1910 to 1913, this bivalve mollusk is native to the waters of New Zealand and other parts of Australasia. The Terra Nova Expedition, which is famously known for its broad scientific programme, collected thousands of geological and zoological specimens during their journey. Among these discoveries, hundreds of new-to-science species were identified, including this exquisite mollusc. The Arca novaezelandiae is a member of the Arcoida family, characterized by its distinctive ark-like shape. This bivalve mollusk, with its elegant, fan-like siphons, is a lamellibranch, meaning it filters water for food using gills. The intricate patterns on its shell, which resemble the texture of a barbed wire, are unique to this species and add to its allure. The Terra Nova Expedition, which took place between 1910 and 1913, had a significant impact on our understanding of the natural world. This mollusc, with its striking appearance and scientific significance, serves as a testament to the groundbreaking discoveries made during this historic journey. This photograph, taken during the Terra Nova Expedition, offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the natural world and the importance of scientific exploration. The Arca novaezelandiae, with its intricate patterns and unique characteristics, continues to fascinate researchers and collectors alike, reminding us of the wonders that lie beneath the surface of our oceans.
