Clam Rock?

[Umsaskis]

Silly question, I'm sure, but whenever I've passed it, I've wondered how Clam Rock (Great Gulf Trail) got its name. It doesn't really look like a clam.

Is it supposed to be the swirls in the rock look like the swirls on a clam shell? They're more obvious in your photo than they looked to me on the trail.

Does this help?

Ah, yes. I get it. I guess I don't eat enough clams.
