Thanks for this, very educational. I've lived here and clammed my whole life and never seen these.

There are hundreds of them at Illahee State Park. Literally everywhere.

Yup piddocks have detached siphon tips (geoduck is fused), and they have very distinctive little white nodules on the rim. And horse clams can also look similar but their siphom tends to be darker w/ barnacle and like a singular slit. Geoduck is big, ovular, fused, and clean flesh. Piddock is edible but definitely not as tasty, pretty similar to horse clam

Only on the coast, not the Sound!
