- Oppose. The composition is confusing, and probably limits EV. According to the description page, this is a cut-out composite image overlaying two views of the same shell. It would probably be better not to have each view overlap, like other shell FPs. The fact is also not noted in the articles where the image is used—at first glance I assumed the two were different halves. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:31, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure from those words as the author is not very fluent in English. Pinged him for opinion. Jee 02:28, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- This is the same valve. As indicated. And it is easy to see from the picture. Show other open valve would not bring anything. As against, it is to see the rough boring aspect outside of the valve. This is the option which has been selected, there were actually other. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:00, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
