Nr 1: some kind of Veneridae, probably Marcia marmorata or Marcia japonica
Nr 2: Meropesta nicobarica <a href="http://bigai.world.coocan.jp/pic_book/data12/r001114.html" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://bigai.world.coocan.jp/pic_book/data12/r001114.html">http://bigai.world.coocan.jp/pic_book/d ... 01114.html</a><!-- m --></a>

I see you fixed the pictures. Now Meropesta nicobarica is the last picture and the picture 2 looks for me like Mya arenaria too.

These two shells belong to the family Veneridae. There are likely 2 different species on the picture, but I can't identify ether of them more exactly.

The last one looks like an Asaphis (Psammobiidae). Perhaps A. violaceus (Forskall 1775)
vivalbes identificacion 2 - mikede - 02-10-2010
Asaphis violaceus was also my first guess, but after some research I settled for Meropesta nicobarica based on shell sculpture, thickness and bending of the valves.
To be really sure, we'd have to see the inside of the shell to be able to compare the hinges, as they are completely different for those two species.

Asaphis not think it is by qeu i have several different copies of it but if they want to make a scanner on the internal parts for exhibition
vivalbes identificacion 2 - mikede - 02-12-2010
Don't think its Asaphis either, but if you want to be really sure you can post a picture of the interior (especially the hinge is important).
