Anyone have any idea what these are underneath my wall hammers? At first, I thought it was the skeleton eroding, but then I saw it move, and realised it must be some sort of bivalve. I poked it, and sure enough, it closed up.

The one circled in red is still slightly open, but there are more behind it, circled in green. They closed up after being poked.

Appears to be. They are a member of scallop grouping resembling a scallop or mussel than a clam
