Help ID type of Murex Shells - Shells85 - 04-13-2018

I believe these are MUrex shells. Thank you in advance for identifying what type of Murex shells they are. I appreciate your time.

In the first picture, the shell on the left is Murex (Hexaplex) chicoreum, the next four are Murex (Chicoreus} brunneus, and the shell on the far right is not a murex, but Vasum turbinellum, in the family Turbinellidae.
