A geoduck is a large species of [[bivalve]] [[clam]]. It has a rectangular shell that can be up to 9 or 10 inches long and 5 inches high. Each of the [[valves]] are equal in size and have irregularly shaped lines that indicate growth. The geoduck’s [[ligament hinge]] connects and holds the two valves together. The shell is covered by a thin covering called the [[periostracum]]. The periostracum protects the valve's middle layer from scratches and abrasions. | |||
