I wonder if they found any "venus mercenaria" or hard shell clam, that
in the 1970s used to be served downtown there in Buffalo, NY in little
stands on the half shell. I used to wonder when a trailer truck went
by on the New York Thruway, with a load of them to Buffalo, NY how
much they were worth, a vanishing harvest of the Great South Bay on
New York's Long Island. The Thruway toll around the city has been
eliminated as of today and they are celebrating up there.

Interesting, some relative dating of hard shell was done by
thin-sectioning the clam, counting the tides and the thin spacing the
result of colder water arrive at a relative age and time of harvest,
done at Stony Brook University back in the early 1980s.
