    Are there any bivalve identification apps?

    Greetings from Cloudcroft village in the mountains of southern New Mexico...the bivalve capital of New Mexico!

  2. @saxbrightwell umbo is the back beak of the bivalve! A veliger is a fancy name for larval bivalves! Pediveliger refers to them developing a foot (needed for them to settle!) Spat is what young bivalves are called after they've first settled down and are going through metamorphosis! #clamFacts #clamjargon #dwarvish

  7. Thrilled to hear there's a new movie about Megalodon, the extinct genus of Mesozoic clams. These heart-shaped clams were chunky, fast growers with a very thick shell for their size, and indeed merit an entire movie about their fascinating history at the time of the dinosaurs. As a clam paleontologist, I will be sure to buy a ticket to this new clam-centric movie without looking at the trailer. #TheMeg2 #clamFacts
