We will see... a pic of the bottom of the shell would settle it.

mbbuna is the clam ID GURU I beleve him. Look on page 79 of fatheree's book the shells on the left of the page look identical to mine. And page 79 is the maxima shell page..

why's everyone gotta rain on my already soggy parade? :sad2:

I never said it couldnt be a crocea, just that from the pic we have to go by that it could be either one.

A pic of the underside/foot would clear it all up.

clam still alive, it was alot more white in person

dude, wash your dirty dishes in the sink before taking photos and posting them on the internet :lol:

 

[skinz78]

lol I almost didn't have time to wash the dead clam guts out of the shell

 

[hahnmeister]

How about a shot from above looking at the inside (inside foot)?

 

[skinz78]

I think I have posted enough pic's. Lets let dead dogs lay.

how about a few pics of the clam upside down while playing the dark side of the moon album on the stereo on a tuesday afternoon in feb? jk.

sorry about your loss skinz, what did the seller tell you?

 

[skinz78]

he'll replace it when he gets another in or just do a store credit.

I'm glad everything worked out for you skinz78. I too have purchase coral from Nate and I received two croceas that did not make it. He did however send me replacements. Great guy to deal with.
