Lioconcha hieroglyphica (Conrad, 1837)
49.8mm

The markings on this clam match figures of Lioconcha hieroglyphica. These were common buried in sand on lagoon, pinnacle and seaward reefs.

The finer lines on this one resemble Lioconcha ornata, although the pattern is still more like L. hieroglyphica.
