Hello!

Here are 4 snails: I think the bottom right one is from Britain, but I have no ideas about the rest. Thanks for all your help!

they are gibbula umbelicaris of the trochidae familly
Hello Fortuno,

Thank you for your identification, but I don't think they are umbilicaris because these specimens aren't from the Mediterranean, but thanks for your help!

Better photos of the individual shells would be very helpful. The middle right one is the British one, Gibbula umbilicalis.
