Can anyone tell me what this bivalve is? I can't find it on any online identification charts and whatnot.

Hi,

This is Laevicardium elatum, the "Giant Pacific Cockle", or "Giant Egg Cockle" from West Central America or West Mexico.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2007-05-31 05:10:28 --</span>
