Found on the beaches of South Padre Island, Texas
Hi Pierre,
Rangia cuneata is found in that general area, but it is actually a brackish water shell not likely to be found on a true ocean beach. Â It is only about 2 inches in length, is wider than it is tall, bluntly pointed at one end, and typically has a dark periostracum. Â Also, since it is in the family Mactridae, its hinge structure is quite different from that of Veneridae. |
