Peggy, did you get fossil specimens in the Bahamas?
I think this species deserves further studies....
Thanks
Marcus

Trigoniocardia columba (Heilprin, 1886), named as a fossil, has a sharper angle from umbone to edge.
I have it from the Bahamas. Looks like some of your orange colored specimens.

See these images (I apologize for posting a link to my website, but I have here several pictures of
specimens coming from different places)
