So I have had my pond in Texas for 5 years. Have never seen a single clam or mussel of any type.Today I see on the bank of my pond mutliple piles of opened shells. They have clearly been opened and eaten - I assume by racoons?

Are they buried in the mud at the bank and how could this many just show up out of nowhere? I am confused.

PS I attached two photos - are they opening ok?
