SRC Member JiaEn Posted May 15, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted May 15, 2021 This is a tridacna noae, or the tear drop giant clam. Squamosa clams have a less enlongated, and more symmetrical shell. Also, the scutes (scale/fins) are more obvious on squamosa clams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lighter colored band around the tear drops. Depending on light conditions may be less obvious though. I guess @alvinyky best way is to take a look at the she'll from the side. See if it's symmetrical or not. If there is obvious elongation, then it's quite certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member JiaEn Posted May 16, 2021 SRC Member Share Posted May 16, 2021 It's a really nice piece! I think it's a noae. Maybe other experts can chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
