Can you tell how old is a clam? This week end at LIA, visitors helped Bob Cerrato aging shells! Can you believe one shell was 50 years old? Children and their family crafted their own clam with Bob and Norah’s help.

Meet with Professor Robert Cerrato from StonyBrook University and learn how clams grow, what influences growth and why it is important to determine their age.
