Unidentified gastropods from Queensland - conchylinet - 04-01-2010
Hello,
I get these shells from a beach in Cairns (Queensland, Australia, Pacific O.). Sizes range from 13mm to 27mm.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.
Pierre.

Unidentified gastropods from Queensland - khan - 04-24-2010
Hello Pierre,
This is some ways to follow, from left to right :
1 : hard to say, but can be a beached juvenile of Cerithium coralium
2 : Potamididae family, must be Cerithideopsilla cingulata
3 : no idea...
4 : genus Polinices, this looks like a beached Polinices bicolor, but the range of this species is near Taiwan.
5 : must be a juvenile of Telescopium telescopium
These species are typical from muddy sand substrates. Maybe this can help.
J'espère que cela vous donnera quelques pistes.
