    Holes in Clamshells?
    What makes that perfectly round hole in the opened clamshells that I find on the beach in Maine?

    Most likely it's from the radula of a Moon Snail. The snails hunt and eat bivales by grabbing the clams with their foot and then boring a hole through the shell with their Radulated tongue.

    Hopefully you can still rake a few clams for your chowder.

    Snail shells on California beaches have the same holes. I just picked up a half dozen yesterday.
