EDIT(moderator_david): Hello All,
Can your help me identify these few shells please ?
Thanks for your help
Bonjour àtous,
Je voudrais profiter de ce forum pour pouvoir identifier des coquillages que j'ai en ma possession depuis quelques années mais je n'y connais rien, et j'ai beau chercher il y a tellement de variétés que je m'y perds...
J'espère que vous pourrez m'aider...
Je vous mets le lien pour voir les photos

Hello,
the last shell looks like Nassarius reticulatus (Linne, 1758), but without location data it is difficult to say it for sure.
Mike
Hi there, the conch shell is <i>Strombus variabilis</i> the blotch on the columellar callous is distinctive.
The cone shell is difficult as it looks like a juvenile but I would say it is one of the forms of <i>Conus spectrum</i>.
The last shell does look like <i>Nassarius reticulatus</i> but as Mike says locality data would be helpful. It is always a good idea to include locality data and size when enquiring about identification of a specimen, this can really be useful to those trying to i.d. it.
Dave
Hello I believe that both that you/they lack are stombus one it is wing strombus canarium labiatum labiatum and the other one the form oldium although I am not very sure
thanks for all, I'm sorry but I can't say the locality because I don't know it... I thank all of you for your answers.
Thank you with all for your answers, I miss just 3 shells, I'd like to know: the name of the first white with points oranges (can be a strombus), the name of the conus, and the name of the small an orange brown (shell 5). thank you with all for your future answers.
