Is anyone who knows about shells allowed to identify species or is that reserved for the Administrators? I can help with some shells, if that's okay & you can correct me if I'm wrong.
The first one, defined by location, could be a Tonna galea, but it looks too pale & the lip isn't supposed to be as thick.
#2 looks like a Haustellum cabritii donmoorei, a recently-discovered species.
#3 is Terebra (Impages) cineria.
