Atlantic Surf Clam
... The Atlantic surf clam is one of the largest species of clam inhabiting the Atlantic coast. Their heavy shells have a rounded, triangular shape, and the shell surface is smooth with fine concentric lines. New lines are added as the clam grows and can therefore be used to determine its age. Surf clam ...
