A large population of the wood-associated, deep-sea bivalve Idas argenteus was recovered from a wood block submerged for 11 years at 3,600 m depth at Deep Ocean Station 2 (DOS 2) in the western Atlantic south of New England. Acetate peels of the inner shell layer revealed a series of annual growth lines which were utilized to establish a relationship between shell length and age. Individuals recovered from wood panels also deployed at DOS 2 but submerged for much shorter periods were also examined using the acetate peel technique, and the number of growth lines generally coincided with the length of time spent on the bottom
