Image of Pacific geoduck
Description:
The shell has a very well-developed pallial line and one hinge tooth in each valve. The shell of this specimen is about 1/2 cm thick. Along the edges the shell splits into an inner and an outer shelf which diverge from each other slightly. I have not seen this divergence into shelves described for this species.
