Haliotis squamosa, common name the squamose abalone, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalone.
"The shell has an oblong-ovate shape, transversely obliquely wrinkled and spirally tubularly ribbed.
This is an extremely interesting species, well characterized by its close ribs of scale-like tubercles, ranging across the shell in oblique waves.
In the middle portion of the shell there is a fine ridge running between the ribs.
