Top:
(L) Babylonia japonica, Japanese babylon Whelk, common
(M) Pteropurpura trialata, Three-Winged Murex, moderately uncommon
® Melongena corona, Crown Conch, abundant

Bottom:
(L) Telescopium telescopium, Telescope Snail, abundant
(M) Turbo argyrostomus, Silvermouth turban, abundant
® Cypraea vitellus, Pacific Deer Cowrie, abundant

The Pteropurpura, average size and prime condition, would be worth perhaps $12 to $15. The others, $.50 to $2.00.
