rough but in spots smooth,
Found in sandy and rocky beach's
I don't think it's a blue mussel (Mytilus edulis). The shell on this one looks like its too long and slender for that. Was this found inland in Alberta, like the map shows? If it were a fresh water clam, that would narrow things down quite a bit.
Thanks merrypoppins!
Nice photo! And the scientific name is Mytilus edulis.
