Misleading? So they didn't really kill the clam?

It's more a question of chronology. They dredged a whole bunch of clams, cut them open to study them, and discovered that one of them was super old, a piece of information that isn't possible to obtain without cutting them open.
The headline makes it sound like "hey! this clam is the oldest animal we've ever seen! let's kill it!" |
