Rocellaria stimpsonii, with its common name the Stimpson chimney clam, is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Gastrochaenidae, that can be found in the Gulf of Mexico. This small species bores into calcareous surfaces, including the shells of other bivalves. The clam forms a living space which is lined with calcium carbonate and is shaped like a bottle, hence the common name "chimney clam."
