Here are two Pennsylvanian bivalves I have not been able to ID. I've seen some similar looking ones but in all honesty, I find that most bivalves look the same to me. The first is from the LaSalle Limestone Member of the Bond Formation, Oglesby, IL.

This second one I have posted before but didn't get a reply, thought I would try one more time before labeling it as unidentified. It is photographed wet. From the Mecca Quarry Shale, Carbondale Formation, Utica, IL.

Second one looks like a razor clam.

I was thinking #2 looked more like a Lingulid or other inarticulate brachiopod.
