I have no idea what this Vietnamese mussel is ... but it is impressive! I
emailed the seller to ask if non-polished pairs are available for specimen
collectors. Is anyone familiar with this dealer?

Sorry, Henk, I have to respectfully disagree.  It's difficult without seeing
the interior, but sure looks much like Cristaria plicata (possibly even ssp.
herculea Middendorff, 1874) so I'm sticking with my original claim.  Jay

I have no clue what it is but certainly neither Cristaria plicata nor
Sinanodonta woodiana. The general form and outline of both species is quite
different.  Henk K. Mienis

Looks like Pisanianura breviaxis. Geoff Macaulay
