Abstract
⺠We validate the seasonality in growth lines in the shell of Macoma balthica. ⺠δ18O profiles showed that annual growth lines are due to autumn growth stop. ⺠Internal lines visible in the cross-section give accurate estimate of age. ⺠Counting external lines causes overestimation of age and underestimation of growth. ⺠Sr/Ca ratios and δ18O can be used to estimate age of M. balthica.
