#1  Anadara sp. (family Arcidae) - There are many similar species of this genus in various parts of the world, and it would be difficult to name the species with certainty without knowing the general locality where collected.  This one is similar to the Caribbean A. notabilis, but it is also similar to several other species from other regions.

#2  Family Veneridae, probably a Lioconcha species, but could be a Meretrix.

#3  Chicoreus brunneus

#1 is an Anadara species, possibly brasiliana but as Paul says witho0ut data almost hopeless.
#2 is Meretrix meretrix
#3 is Chicoreus banksii

Haven't forgotten about the trade by the way Paul, just been very busy.
