#8 appears to be Tellina foliacea, Foliate Tellin.  The name refers to leaves, as in foliage.  Apparently the flat shiny shell reminded the author of some kind of leaves.  Can't recall ever seeing a plant this color.  But, then I am not a botanist!  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-04-08 23:40:11 --</span>
