[Nhcoll-l] Help with ID of shells

[Jody Ullman]

The two shells in the photos were found in the collection without any
information. I do not have curator of mollusks on my staff.  The clam
appears to be a modern clam, but the ark could be either fossil or modern.
Can anyone help in identifying these shells?  You may contact me off-list if
you prefer.
