Fascinating. I had never read or heard a peep about clams being long-lived.

Did they say how it tasted?

"Its death is an unfortunate aspect of this work, but we hope to derive lots of information from it,"

It was an old clam. What else were they going to do with it - find out its opinions on social security reform and Medicaid?

“Only after researchers cut through its shell, which made it more of an ex-clam, and counted its growth rings did they realize how old it had been — between 405 and 410 years old.”

What is the standard quahog life span? Can they count on living until they are counted on?

Was it grilled or fried? Battered? Barbecue sauce?

"..cut through its shell, which made it more of an ex-clam, and counted its growth rings.."

Seems kind of harsh, Why didn't they just wait 'til it had a birthday and count the candles on the cake?
