Fossilised Giant Clam This was a huge Giant Clam fossil stuck in the ceiling of a cave. The size of the Giant Clam is around 1 meter. The altitude where the cave is located is around 100 masl, so you can imagine thousands of years ago, this cave system was under the sea!

      I think there's two (or both halves?) - bottom third of the frame, look for the wavy edge. - a better look, and I think it's two, with both halves of their respective shells. The hinge side is sticking out of the rockface on both. Posted 8 years ago, modified 8 years ago

        Yes, there are 2 of them.
        One towards the left border and a bigger one to the right.         Posted 8 years ago
