Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

This does appear to be the best fit. Nice preservation!

Thanks! I’ll be posting some other bivalves later which have actually preserved even better than this

Do you guys think these are the same kind? (Don’t know where it was found) @Calli99 @Max-fossils

Nope, those are definitely different than your first shell. And you're right when you say that these have much better preservation, and that's because these haven't had the chance to become fossils yet :P 

These are all modern Macoma balthica, a species common in the North Sea.
