Definitely Fissurellidae.

Definitely Fissurellidae.
Wow! Most likely a monoplacophoran. At this depth and habitat the only real options are monoplac or true limpet (Gastropoda) in family Lepetidae, and it looks closer to a monoplac. But its shell shape is different from known species and is almost certainly new! How big was it? Did they collect it??

Looks like another Margaritidae.

Raphitomidae, need to look at specimens to decide the genus.
