Crassatella clam with preserved shell material

Photo: Fossil Specimen, Crassatella clam with preserved shell material

Crassatella clam with preserved shell material. These clams lived just below the sandy sea floor. The presence of several burrowing type clams found in SLAC sediments indicates a sheltered, sandy bay or estuary habitat present here at that time.
