Object
Carnivorous Clam Trap Rock Fragment
A jagged slab of cave limestone, torn from the cave’s ceiling by the Doctor’s hasty grab. Its chalky grey surface shows fresh fracture lines where it snapped, the broken edges whiter than the weathered rockface. Roughly chair-sized, it was never meant to serve as a tool, and its weight and awkward shape make it marginally useful at best. The Doctor swings it twice—once to pry the clam’s hinge, once to shatter its grip—before tossing it aside as both rock and stalactite fail against the clam’s crushing strength.
