«Shell suborbicular, depressed, of about equal height and width; ribs about 2O (?), quadrangular or flattened, broader than the interspaces, crossed by fine rugose lines of growth; a faint median longitudinal line or carination can be detected on some of the ribs, probably eroded on the others; the interspaces with two or more elevated longitudinal lines; left ear of right valve with about five very oblique, narrow ribs, rugose with the lines of growth; right wing ? Interior of shell prominently ribbed.
Height, 5.7 inches. The half of a single right valve, and a fragment of probably the other valve, from the banks below Fort Thompson. This shell can be readily distinguished from the only species that at all resembles it, Pecten comparilis, by its more elevated form, the height of its wings, and the structure and disposition of its ribs, which are more distinctly quadrangular and elevated. In the fragment which possibly represents the left valve the ribs are broader than in the opposite valve, of about twice the width of the interspaces, which, at least in the upper portion of the shell, are deep and nearly parallel-sided. They show a single median elevated line.» ANGELO HEILPRIN, 1887

«A. eboreus solarioides (Heilprin) was characrerized as having right valves with approximately 20 broad, squarish plicae with narrow interspaces bearing radial striae. The nunlber of striae vary in number from one to two in samples from different localities. Although striae occur in the interspaces on the right valve, they are most commonly found on the left valve. The squareness of the plicae varies from very square to moderately rounded in samples from southern Florida, although the form with squared plicae is the dominant one. This subspecies is found in the Caloosahatchee Formation in Florida, and also probably occurs in the Waccamaw Formation in North and South Carolina.»
