Unknown snail and bivalve - Emma - 01-20-2011

Hello!

Does anybody know which snail and bivalve are in the pictures? I have no idea where they are from, so a vague indication of a possible location would also be helpful?

Thanks!

Emma.

The bivalve is a species of the familiy Carditidae (not Cardiidae!). It's difficult to get more specific because the location is unknown and the shell is worn.
