Macoma balthica has a pinkish hue and a pallial sinus that ends ¾ of the way to anterior adductor muscle scar and is generally more oval than M. nasuta or M. inquinata (Kozloff 1993). Macoma inquinata is a common mud clam, with slightly inflated but not dramatically bent valves. In M. inquinata, the pallial sinus does

Macoma nasuta, the bent-nose clam, is easily identified (in the adult) by its bent posterior valves (see M. nasuta). It is white in-side and out, with some dark periostracum; its pallial sinus reaches the anterior adductor muscle in the left valve but not in the right (that of M. balthica does not). Macoma inquinata (=irus) is a common Macoma (Heteromacoma) nasuta (Conrad, 1837) Common name(s): Bent-nosed clam, Bent-nose Macoma: Synonyms: Macoma tersa, Macoma kelseyi: Phylum Mollusca Class Bivalvia Subclass Heterodonta Order Veneroida Family Tellinidae: Macoma nasuta from Padilla Bay, WA. Anterior is to the right. (Photo by: Dave Cowles, July 2005) Macoma balthica is widely distributed throughout north-west Europe and Britain. It has a plump almost circular shell, up to 25 mm in length, with umbones close to the midline.

In the brackish Baltic Sea it lives submerged down to water depths over 100m.
