Dreissena polymorpha
As you can see from the pictures, there's a range of appearance as far as stripes and or coloring. The stable trait is the shape of the shell: D-shaped. They can be very sharp when split open, like these empty shells are, and the shell shape gives them strength enough to cut into your foot.
Freshwater reservoir.
The third photo shows the two halves of shells open but still attached to each other. Most are just half of a shell.
