Turkey Wing

The turkey wing clams (Arca zebra), are also called zebra arks because their reddish brown stripes resemble zebra stripes. Turkey wings live attached to rocks. They have a gap at either side of their shells which allows them to attach themselves to the rocks with their byssal threads. They can grow up to be four inches across. Their range is from North Carolina, down to the West Indies.
