Overall in very good condition, some specimens complete with both halves of the shell, some with only one half, some stable cracks to the surface of the shells commensurate with age, a slightly deeper cut behind one of the shells containing fragments of shell material, cut marks visible to the rear of the matrix from quarrying, a circular brass cartouche with preparator's mark inlaid to the right hand side of the matrix near base.
