Massive Giant Clam Shell Fossilized clam shells are found in coral reef limestone along coastal area quarries. The coral reef from which this amazing clam shell originated was formed during the Pleistocene, the time of the last ice age. The build-up of the reef took place during the main integral period, 240,000-125,000 years ago. During the later interglacial period, sea levels rose up to 20 meters and during this time the largest part of the prehistoric fossil reef in which this specimen was discovered was built up. Fossil clam shells are only found in the upper layers of sediment; in coastal quarries they can only occasionally be found. Their location near the surface suggests that they only lived in this locality during the later part of the second reef-building period of the Pleistocene. Today, living giant clams only occur in the Eastern Indian and Pacific Oceans.
