RE: Help Identify Please!
This is a juvenile specimen of Lithopoma phoebium, the long-spined star shell.  In older books you may find it listed as Astraea phoebia. On the second link below, 5'th specimen down, you will see a juvenile one similar to yours, though yours is even more immature than this one.
