#1 and 2 - a top shell, of the family Trochidae. The outer layer has been etched away to show the pearly underlayer. Given its large size it is almost certainly Trochus niloticus.
#3 and 4 - a murex shell, family Muricidae, probably Chicoreus florifer from Florida and the Caribbean area
#5 - a Chlamys species, family Pectinidae, probably a small juvenile of a larger species
