Description
A clamshell is a hard, hinged shell that protects the soft body of a clam or similar bivalve mollusk. Composed of two symmetrical halves connected by a flexible ligament, the clamshell opens and closes to allow the creature to feed, breathe, and move water through its body. Its ridged, durable structure offers strong defense against predators and environmental pressures. Clamshells vary widely in size, color, and texture, reflecting different species and habitats. Beyond their natural purpose, clamshells are often collected for decoration, used in craft projects, or studied to understand marine ecosystems and coastal environments.
