What kind of animal is it?

Hi,

I'm traveling through New Zealand and found a little schell/amor on the beach on the east-coast of New Zealands northern island. It's around 3cm long. At first I thought it would be a creb shell but if you look closely you can see some skin left on the edge wich looks scaly like skin from reptiles. So I thought it can't be a shellfish.

I hope someone can help me finding out what kind of animal this shell belongs to!


Here are some pictures:

Thanks in advance,

Robin
