The Heavy Cockle is a bivalve shell. This means the mollusk (animal inhabiting the shell) creates a top and matching bottom shell. The Heavy Cockle like the Giant Cockle shells move thru the water by using their long powerful foot. The foot allows them to leap several inches as they move across muddy or sand bottom sea floors.

The Heavy Cockles are found across the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from East African shores east to The northern Australian and New Zealand shoreline. They prefer moderately shallow water. Historically, Most cockle shell species have been a means of food for man as well as some predatory fish. This species has been known to reach 5 inches in size.
