Bivalves or brachiopods?

I found these and am wondering if they are brachiopods, or just bivalves with symmetrical valves, as I have not yet found a brachiopod in this location yet. Sorry the photos are dark.

Many thanks.

Yes, the photos are terrible, but I think i see rhynchonellid  brachiopods in there.

I have an app that says that bivalves found near me could be Tetrarhynchia, would you agree? Here's a photo of the rest of them (sorry it's not great).

They are not bivalves, they are brachiopods. You could use the adjective bivalved. 

Tetrarhynchia is a good possibility, but there are others.
