I always had some doubts about Americardia media - is there any other species related to it from Western Atlantic? See these images (I apologize for posting a link to my website, but I have here several pictures of specimens coming from different places) http://www.femorale.com.br/shellphotos/detail.asp?species=Americardia+media+%28L%2E%2C+1758%29 and http://www.femorale.com.br/shellphotos/detail.asp?species=Americardia+cf%2E+media+%28L%2E%2C+1758%29 Any suggestions?
