Indefinable Shell? Or not a seashell? - Herner - 04-26-2012
Hello,
I found this "shell" on the beach, Runneway Bay, in Jamaica.
But I do not know if there is ever a shell of a seashell or a mussel.
Maybe someone can help me here in this forum with the identification?
The size is about 12 mm.
Thanks Herner
Seashell or mussel

Looks like it could be a small bivalve, not a mussel but perhaps a little clam of some sort. But it is far too eroded to make any reasonable guess regarding its identity.

Hello Paul,
At first I thought that it is also a clam.
I found nothing in the various books or the Internet >
Now, so I tried it once in this forum.
Because of the very poor condition may be impossible, as you already write, to identify this Shell.
Greetings
Herner
