It has been said before in this thread that it is extremely helpful to have the size and location where the shell was found when trying to identify a shell. I am glad you put the tape next to them for measurement but where were they found? All I can say at the moment is the left hand one looks like one of the Lioconcha species.

Sure looks like <i>Laevicardium mortoni</i> (Conrad, 1830).  Interior shot and size data would sure help.
