Hello folks. I was ordering my collection of "Texas Heart Clam". I took  a few pictures in the process.


All in line.

I have doubt about the little one.

This one still have fragments of shell.

What are those marks? parasites?

I’ve seen similar marks in similar specimens (chesacardium steinkerns) and I don’t know what they are either, maybe someone else does:popcorn:

Nice finds!

Happy hunting,

Looks like a different species to Me.

Since they are depressions in the steinkern, they stuck out on the shell. The overall size and shape makes Me think tube worm shells were the culprit. (Living on the inside of the empty clam shell.)

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
