Any ideas what this snail is? - Emma - 07-03-2011

Hello everybody!

Over some time I have posted progressively better pictures of this shell, in the hope that someone can identify it for me. It is probably from Philippines.
Here goes:

Any help you can offer to classify this difficult shell will be very welcome!

Thanks!

It looks like a Buccinidae family shell. I cannot help further.
