I would really like to know what kind of seashell this is on the pendant.
I found out that the other shells are olive shells but can’t find out what to call the pendant.
Any suggestions?

Actually not scallop, more a cockle shell or similar bivalve
Cockle strong radiating ribs

Scallop have the auricles at the hinge

[URL removed] I replaced the previous cockle shell picture others more similar to the one pictured.
First image is Family Cardiidae Acrosterigma dampierense Wilson & Stevenson, 1977 (cockle)
Second is Cardiidae .Cardium beauforti Prashad, 1932
When I first saw it, it reminded me of the Trachycardium species I get in my samples all the time!
Please note It is not a scallop

I thought it was a scallop shell also but after thinking about it the photo looks more like a cockle shell to me. They are both in the same family I guess. I haven’t been to the beach in a very long time and you have reminded me how much I used to love looking for shells! Thanks.

yes, its a scallop but yours is a “marina scallop” because of the creamy “luster shade and edges” not being prickly. There’s different kinds within the scallop variety.
