Hi Pierre,
Could it be from Lucinidae family, maybe a codakia, maybe an inmature specimen. What do you think?
Warm regards,
Emma.

Thank you Emma,
Yes perhaps it is a Lucinidae... but I am still stuck with the specie.

Hello Pierre,
After reading Emma's comment about your website, I just had to take a look too, and I must agree, it is impressive. While I was there I took a quick run through your unidentified section, just in case I might recognize something. Here are a few I recognized (or thought I recognized):
6073Â probably Scabricola desetangsii, immature
2320Â Mitra idae, immature
6372Â Dendostrea frons
6033Â Rapana rapiformis, juvenile
2986Â pretty beat up but I believe it is Bursa rosa
3277Â Hipponyx sp.
6326Â Cypraecassis testiculus
6304Â Cerithium litteratum
2743Â Nitidella ocellata
3040Â Cypraea lynx, juvenile
7520Â probably Cypraea ursellus
2934Â Cerithidea pliculosa
6579Â Atys naucum
4485Â Oliva tessellata
6613Â probably Limaria fragilis, juvenile

Thanks for your comments Emma and Paul.
Paul, many thanks for your ids. I made a specific form to comment all the unidentified shells of this section of the website (below zoomed-in image), so you can also use it.
I have too many shells there to upload them on this forum.

A few more:
6213Â Cyclophorus sp. (terrestrial)
7663Â probably Faunus ater
3351Â probably Tellina philippi
6511Â Strombus microurceus
2939Â Strombus tricornis, juvenile
2421Â Dendostrea frons
5416 and 5564Â Buccinulum corneum
7076Â based on the light subsutural band, probably Mitra luctuosa
5891Â may be Priotrochus obscurus, not sure
6273Â Helicina aurantia (terrestrial)
5155Â probably Fusinus tessellatus
6201Â probably Turritella duplicata
2936 Are you sure of the locality? This looks like Purpura patula, a Caribbean species.
