Hello

As title states I need help properly identifying this clam. LFS says they think it’s a derasa clam but isn’t sure. Any help is appreciated. If these photos aren’t good I’ll get some more tomorrow

Edit: originally had derasa but can’t see the scutes too well … I have a squamosa looks sorta like that but the shell has pronounced scutes on the side….
isn’t there a clam ID around here somewhere? TBH curious and following to hear what the clam experts say

@Reefing102 @Doctorgori thanks for the reply friends. Here are some better photos of the ridges and scutes. Like I mentioned I was told derasa and now I’m torn between Squamosa and maxima…
