RE: Please help identify!

1. Looks like an Anadara, or “Ark Shell”, species uncertain.
2. Piece of a pelican foot shell, Aporrhais pespelicani.
3. Anterior end of a gastropod (snail) shell, possibly a Cymatium.
4. Piece of a clam of some kind, species unknown.
5. Piece of a scallop or pecten shell, species unknown.
6. Appears to be an astarte clam, probably the boreal astarte, Astarte borealis.
Row 2:
Glycymeris shells, commonly called “dog cockles” or “bittersweet clams”, probably Glycymeris insubrica.
Rows 3 and 4:
Cockle shells, family Cardiidae, probably more than one species,
The biggest one is probably Acanthocardia aculeata. Shell 6 in row 3 should be in row 5.
Row 5: These appear to be Chamelea striatula and/or Chamelea gallina, members of
the family Veneridae, commonly called Venus Clams.
Row 6: Donax shells, commonly called Wedge Clams. Probably Donax trunculus.
Row 7:
1. Apparently part of an oyster, probably Crassostrea gigas.
Remainder of row 7 is inadequate material for identification. Thanks a lot!
