''A Field Guide to Shells: Atlantic and Gulf Coasts and the West Indies.'' New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1995. 25. Features ''Euvola ziczac'' is known by many names. Previously, its scientific name was ''Pecten ziczac'', but most current literature lists both ''Euvola'' and ''Pecten'' for clarity. Like other scallops, zigzag scallops bear the characteristic two-valved, calcium carbonate shells that are rounded along the outer edges and flattened at the bottom near the prominent hinges.
