Thanks a lot for your time

6402Â I believe this is a badly beachworn Jenneria pustulata
0023 The interior of this shell, including the hinge structure, looks like a Laevicardium, but the exterior looks a bit strange. Still, my best guess has to be Laevicardium elenense, even though it doesn't look too much like my specimens of this species.
0647Â This appears to be an immature specimen of Ellobium stagnalis
0943 This is a species of Veneridae. There are quite a few species in your area, but only a couple of them have such a glossy exterior, mainly species of Megapitaria. I think this is a juvenile specimen of Megapitaria squalida, which can grow up to 120 mm in length.
1053 Oliva sp. Too worn for positive ID. The slight hint of a tented pattern (or is that my imagination?) and the low spire suggest the possibility that it might be a juvenile Oliva porphyria. The other Oliva species with angular patterns usually have a fairly high spire. Anyway, All I'm sure of is - Oliva.
1181Â Appears to be Mactridae, probably genus Mactra, species uncertain.
1647Â Trivia radians, in my opinion.
8616Â Cypraea cervinetta
9194Â family Veneridae, genus Chione, probably Chione amathusia
