Thanks, EmilyMarino, for bringing this to my attention. This most certainly does not belong in Osteology (a fascinating science, by the way). I'm not sure which of my missions I had been trying to put this into, but it wasn't that. I'll go ahead and blame my finger width:cell phone screen ratio for the mobile app. It's also not the first time I've put something that doesn't belong in this mission (again by accident, and that time a fully living and very healthy common snapping turtle).

Hi BenjaminKabel, Would you mind removing your Freshwater bivalve from the Osteology mission?! Osteology is actually the study of vertebrate bones. It's a detailed study of the structure of bones, the skeletal elements, teeth, morphology, function and disease. Osteology aids in identifying vertebrate remains with regard to age, death, sex, growth, and development. This is an invertebrates. Thank you for your understanding! :)
