Sizes and localities would be extremely helpful.
ID help - mark - 08-22-2010
The size (in millimeter) is after the numbers. They are from a florist’s so unfortunately I don’t know the locality. I would be grateful for every idea.

Hi Mark, sorry, didn't see the sizes. The last one looks like Pyrula elongata <a href="http://www.gastropods.com/3/Shell_5443.shtml" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gastropods.com/3/Shell_5443.shtml">http://www.gastropods.com/3/Shell_5443.shtml</a><!-- m --></a>
Can't say about the others.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for your help (the Pyrula elongata is a new species in my „collectionâ€

The first looks like a Jujubinus species, the second is a cone but I don't know which. Judging by the thin outer lip I would say it was a juvenile.

I doubt it is magus Mark, not with all that spiral grooving. Without locality data it could be one of hundreds of species.
The Jujubinus sounds right though.

OK, thanks again

Hi Dave, What do you think the Conus maybe a juv. C. magus? The Jujubinus looks like a Jujubinus escondidus (for me). It is possible?
Thanks, Mark
