I collected these from a black sand beach, washed to the shore by the waves. Can someone help me identify the species of gastropods (univalve and bivalve). I provided more than one picture for one species sometimes. Please help.
Dear Rino,
there are both gastropods and bivalves yes; but please note that the bivalves are distinct and not placed under gastropoda but BIVALVIA/ PELECYPODA. I will try to identify whatever I can and send it to you ASAP. It would have been good if images were clear enough to make the identification process easy.
Regards
Deepak
