Appears to be mis-named in this data base as Leukoma crassicostata. My ref. WoRMS and NZ Mollusca sites. This animal is not uncommon and at times can be overlooked as the common cockle. It's more angular and slightly heavier in the ribs. Was Protothaca crassicosta.

I think this is Purpurocardia purpurata because the size of this is 36mm which is larger than the size limit of Purpurocardia reinga. Washed up on the beach.
