A pretty solid clam shell in light brown colors with a neat pattern of white rays. Maybe a rayed trough clam?
The hole indicates its method of demise, at the hands, or rather raspy tongue, of a predatory snail. An egg sac of the predatory snail is discovered nearby see pic 3. See http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/836... for an earlier discussion on this species.

Nice.
Another mollusca, sadly still without ID.
This is possibly a venus shell, it should be easy to ID but haven't spotted it yet.
Yes Leuba but I couldn't find the snail anywhere.
A type of venus shell?
I was going to ask about the hole... Good info...
that's nice getting the two together
