It occurs sparsely along the south coast of Norway

Venus ovata occurs all along the Norwegian coast, 
but is rare in Finmark. It has about the same distribution 
as the preceding species, occurring off the European coasts 
from Finmark and Iceland to the Mediterranean, the north- 
west coast of Africa, and the Azores. Its bathymetrical 
distribution is from 0 to 1324 fathoms. It is a fossil in 
many parts of Europe, in Algiers and Madeira.
