The 3rd TransKarst Symposium will be held in Bohol next month where the clams are found. I'll see if I can find more information. Neat stuff!

Here’s a short (2 min) yet very informative video from the researchers at Northeastern Uni who discovered and are studying this limestone-eating clam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4crB-YKYbdo Fun to see them split a rock and retrieve one! - from julia's cell Julia G Germany c: 281.979.9208 e: ju...@trigrants.com<mailto:ju...@trigrants.com> On Aug 9, 2019, at 12:21, Penelope Boston <penelope.bos...@nmt.edu<mailto:penelope.bos...@nmt.edu>> wrote: Super exciting! Thanks for sharing this, Lee. I will try to find the technical paper (if any) that describes this. I don’t recall whether we can attach things to these list-serves so I’m not doing that, but I have a category in my agnostic cave classification scheme first published in 2004, revised in 2012 and 2016, within which this fits and I’m delighted to have another example.
