Shell Of Angel Wing Glows In The Dark?

In the movie "Sahara" starring Matthew McConaughey hementions that the Angel Wing glows in the dark (or underwater, can't remember which). He also says that science can't explain it yet. Is this true?24.83.178.11 12:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)BeeCier

Strange page

I don't understand the selection of taxa on this page; This is rather unbalanced and arbitrary. The page does not describe the characters of the family Pholadidae. Why is Cyrtopleura costata mentioned anyway? Where does this species occur? Why not a description of the typegenus for this family? I also don't understand why Petricola is described at large here. Simply mentioning the species should be enough and the information could be written to a page Petricola pholadiformis--Tom Meijer 20:37, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
