These jaws are made of layers of thick, calcified cartilage and are supported by hollow struts, making them both strong and lightweight. The mouth is located on the underside of the body, allowing them to feed on prey found on the ocean floor. | Fishing World Tv | Facebook

She's so majestic. -- The soft body of a clam is protected by a hard shell. The shell is made of a mineral called calcium carbonate. Two muscles—one on each end of the shell—keep the shell closed. To move, a clam uses a muscular “foot” that pushes out of the shell. A clam takes in and passes out water through two siphons, or tubes. The siphons may look like a long “neck” sticking out of the shell. - #Britannica | Bad Science Jokes
