Guns_of_Verdun 04/14/23 3:10:08 PM #14:	solosnake posted... how do they know that he is 500 years old? In 2013, another assessment of the age of the clam was carried out counting bands which were measured on the sectioned surface of the outer shell margin and this was verified by comparing the banding patterns with those on other shells that were alive at the same time; this confirmed that the clam was 507 years old when it was caught. The revised age estimate is also supported by carbon-14 dating; marine biologist Rob Witbaard commented that he considers this second assessment accurate to within 12 years. --- http://i.imgur.com/VwJsmAR.gifv <cite>Guns_of_Verdun posted [p:972842229] in Ming the C...
