Tiny bivalves - diocrisseashells1000 - 03-03-2012 Hello there, This are both same small bivalve shell, can anyone help me identify the specie from Philippines. 14mm 7mm. Many thanks Diocris. Re: Tiny bivalves - conchylinet - 03-03-2012 They looks like Corbula genus. Pierre Re: Tiny bivalves - paul monfils - 03-04-2012 Looks like Corbula taitensis. Re: Tiny bivalves - diocrisseashells1000 - 03-04-2012 thanks Pierre & Paul for your help, i google the specie name you gave and here's what i found. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.idscaro.net/sci/01_coll/plates/bival/pl_corbulidae_1.htm">http://www.idscaro.net/sci/01_coll/plat ... idae_1.htm</a><!-- m --> I think it is Corbula modesta (Reeve,1843) cause the locality,size and features are more accurate in this specie,... but because of your great info i know now what it is 8). Diocris EDIT :  Oooops!!.... sorry Paul you are correct on Corbula taitensis.... modestum is unaccepted :o <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=538955">http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php? ... &id=538955</a><!-- m -->
