Need help identifying shells - wbaltz - 10-31-2017
Hello all, I have a large collection I inherited some time ago. It's time to minimize, and I'd like to get them identified.
Whats the best way to post many pictures?
Here's a couple to start with, and thank you in advance.

There are many different kinds of shells here, including volutes, conchs, harp shells, fig shells, nautilus, cone shells, cowries, moon shells, murexes, helmet shells, top shells, whelks, limpets, tritons, thorny oysters, olive shells, turban shells, cockles, and land snails. To get any meaningful identification of species you should submit fewer shells per picture, and line them up in rows, preferably numbered, so that someone who wants to identify them for you can do so easily.
