RJB Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 15cm's does make for a large clam, but they do get to be 2, 3 and 4 feet! RB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info! Can not help further, but with this info perhaps someone else can. Is there something published about this formation (I think so)?
