On my way down to the Texas Master Naturalist state conference, I stopped at a few state parks I hadn't been to before. In the evening, I stopped by Sea Rim State Park to walk around a bit and even set up the black-light. It didn't last long -- the mosquitoes were incredible! They only came out about 30 minutes past sunset, but wow -- swarms. :)

This large rectangular ark was less numerous than the abundant ponderous and transverse arks, but they were fairly regularly encountered on the beaches adjacent to West Gulf Drive and at Bowman's Beach.

"This valve still has some periostracum and some ligament. The shell of this species gets quite a bit larger than this. Some people call a large valve the ""soap dish ark shell""!"

We found just a couple of examples of this species. Fragments of the related Turkey wing were much more numerous.
