This is Raeta plicatella, formerly known as Anatina plicatella, in the family Mactridae.  (Actually I'm not certain which genus name is current.) Often called "channeled duck clam".  Yes. "sailor's ear" is another common name for this shell.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2010-02-10 03:41:42 --</span>
