English term or phrase: couplet
However, instead of having just one lamellar and fibrous

Thank you.

French translation:double couche fibreuse
Explanation:
J'ignore dans le contexte s'il s'agit de la description de la coquille ou du pied, mais il me paraît plausible de traduire de cette manière. On peut très bien comprendre que dans cette variété de mollusque, 4 couches fibreuses se superposent. Est-ce que c'est une Atrina pectinata ou une Pinna nobilis ?
Bonne chance !
