From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panopea abrupta is an extinct species of large marine bivalve mollusc in the family Hiatellidae, originally described as Mya abrupta. Its fossils were found in Miocene-aged marine strata near Astoria, Oregon. Between 1983 and 2010, this species of clam was confused with the Pacific geoduck, Panopea generosa, in the scientific literature.[2]
