Found this while in the Philippines last month. Dr Bill thinks it might be a gastropod, but my googling turns up nothing.

Perhaps Corculum cardissa (heart cockle)?
 
Based on a quick Google, I'd say yes. Thanks so much, knotical! :)
 
When Anna contacted me, I had suggested it might be a gastropod based on the third image, but looking more closely at it I agree it is a bivalve. The first two pictures almost made it look like a pair of Argonauts to my aging eyes!
