405-yr-old clam dredged from the deep - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

It is not known how much longer the mollusc might have lived had it been left on the seabed.

Well, at least its dead now. We won’t have to worry about how long things can live for.

I guess it didn’t think far enough in the future to protect itself from modern fishing practices.
