Very similar species to Pomatoceros lamarckii, however this species is less common on the lowershore, favouring deeper water, it can be found on pebbles that have been washed up. This species only has one keel. The point on the front of the animal is extremely sharp so care needs to be taken when lifting stones on beaches where these animals occur. This species can be found all around the westcountry. Images were taken at Plymouth, Devon and St. Austell, Cornwall.
