2 land snails and 1 cypraea from Thailand - bluezman - 01-24-2009
Hello, Pro-collectors! <img src="images/smiley/smile.gif" alt="" border="0" />
Help me, please, to identificate some shells. I`ve collect it this summer at the Koh Samui island (Thailand).
Two of it - dead pulmonates from jungle (on the mountain), near waterfall.

Can't say about the land snails, The Cypraeas seem to be at least 3 different species, unfortunately they are far too worn to identify.

Thank you, Dave!))
But, about cypraeas... Is this cypraea baby?)) Am I right? Size - 8-12mm.

No, I think they are all adults (with the thickened lips and teeth) just small species, a lot of cowry species do not get very big even as adults. The centre one could be C. hirundo or urceus and the white one at the top of the picture looks like it could even be a Trivia species.

The second land snail looks like a Pterocyclos species, but not certain.
