Shells of Mya truncata can reach a size of about 2.5–7.5 centimetres (0.98–2.95 in).

Valves are rounded in the anterior end and truncated in the posterior end, with a large gape allowing the passage of an extensible siphon that can reach ABSTRACT Soft-shell clams, Mya arenaria , and razor clams, Tagelus plebeius , in Chesapeake Bay have declined since the 1970s, with severe declines since the 1990s.

This species has been introduced along the Pacific coast of the United States, from Alaska through California. These animals are deep burrowers and the foot is positioned downwards, while the siphons reach straight up through sand or mud to the water above (M.
