I agree with
Russ that the mystery shell 2009 #2 is Penitella
penita (Conrad, 1837). There is some possibility it might
be a closely related Penita species but the flat tip is the most
significant reason for my identification. See a photo of this species
collected in Washington State at the Pacific
Northwest Shell Club Website. ..Bert B.

The second mystery

your image

Folks seem
to think it's a boring clam, Penitella Penita or Common Piddock.
