Requesting id Madagascar south coast marine shells
I have three species of shell which we are trying to radiocarbon date to get the age of a large tsunami event about 4000 years ago in southern Madagascar. Unfortunately the accuracy of the date depends on knowing the species of shell. Photos of the species are as follows:
1) Molluscs

2) Mud whelks?

3) Rock oysters

All shells are about 3.5-4.0 cm in length, about the size of the "Enter" key on a computer keyboard
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
