Help me identify these bivalves, etc. please guys
clam 1 - Hippopus hippopus

clam 2 - Tridacna sp., probably Tridacna maxima but can't be certain from this angle of view

clam 3 - Tridacna squamosa

clam 4 - Tridacna crocea

clam 5 - Limidae, not the best angle of view for an ID but I believe it is Ctenoides ales

clam 6 - Pinctada sp., probably Pinctada margaritifera

clam 7 - Hyotissa hyotis

clam 8 - Acesta rathbuni

clam 9 - Codakia tigerina

clam 10 - Trachycardium sp., probably Trachycardium enode

clam 12 - Tridacna sp., possibly a small Tridacna gigas, but again this is not an ideal view for ID

Pecten 1,2,3 - Probably all color forms of Chlamys senatorius

tun - Tonna galea

miter 1 - Mitra mitra

miter 2 - Mitra eremitarum

melo 1 - Melo broderippii

melo 2 - Melo broderippii - the young ones often have these strong markings, the big ones don't

murex small - looks like Chicomurex venustulus

fulgoraria - Fulgoraria hamillei (Did you list the size correctly for this? 214 mm would be possible world record size.)

cockle - Corculum cardissa

small shell - Nerita exuvia

big murex - Chicoreus ramosus

big shell 1 and 2 - Pleuroploca trapezium

pearlized - the sculpture suggests Astraea caelata

bolma - I think it may be a Bolma girgyllus with most of the spines broken off??  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2008-07-16 01:14:58 --</span>
