Help Identifying Cone Shells - oniste - 07-31-2017

I am have some shells that I have tried to identify on and off, over the years. I finally decided to ask for help. I will be posting them here, and I would like to thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge.

The one on the left, I would say most likely Conus capitaneus but possibly Conus mustellinus. Both are quite variable in pattern. The one on the right is probably Conus marmoreus but could also be Conus bandanus.

Hello,

The first one is a Conus capitaneus and I confirm that the second one is a Conus marmoreus.

Bye !
