Type locality of Pecten pealeii Conrad, 1831 [=Chlamys islandica (Müller, 1776)] is the mouth of a river in Maine maybe involving an otter.

Screenshot of text that reads, "Inhabits Maine, where it was found by Mr. T. R. Peale, at the mouth of a river, having probably been brought there by an otter.

The label says "Hoplophoneus oreodontis," but I'm not sure if that name is current. The specimen is a cast of a specimen from Nebraska.
