Can you ID this seashell?

I picked up a large seashell on the Cork coast a few weeks ago. To me it looks like a very large oyster shell with many layers - I counted 50 or 60. It is about the size of my hand. I did some googling though, and I can't find any reference to oyster shells having layers... Was wondering if anyone here could tell me what…
