Once you orient the clam so that the left shell is on top (the one open), you know that the mouth and foot will be to the left. You can orient based on the umbo (draw line down center through umbu, and short side is "front" which makes the shell you are looking at the left shell). Green is liver. gonads and gills are pretty obvious. Anterior adductor muscle will be to your left. Posterior adductor muscle will be to the right.
