Thanks Caldasrafa. I chnaged it.
not in sweet water!! you must say freshwater
Thanks hayesdm. I think you are right. I changed the ID.
Emma, you are right. The basket clam does not fit really. I checked it and it looks more like a "fingernail clam (Sphaeriidae)".
nature recovers but in a mutated form?
good to know, nature recovers itself so rapidly.
