There are problems with badongo, I'm able to see only this two pictures (the two easyest <img src="images/smiley/biggrin.gif" alt="" border="0" /> )

4) Clanculus crociatus - Correct
5) Pisania striata (Gm.)

I'll try to see the other images later...

6.) Triphora adversa (the T. similior should have a darkest background)
8) Vexillum tricolor - Correct!
9) Vexillum ebenus
13) Epitonium commune (an old specimen)

Hi Ale.v,

Thanks again.

I posted the 1) newly. I hope it works (it's really nice species)

For the Raphitoma liaeris I select about 3 liter debris but there was only this one <img src="images/smiley/frown.gif" alt="" border="0" />

Hi Mark,

Since you're uploading pics to a host, consider uploading to a host that will allow you to post your pics right here on SC.  Example:

<img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Attachment%20conversions/s.jpg" alt="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l110/olram9/Attachment%20conversions/s.jpg" style="border:0" />

Guidance is provided at:
<a href="http://z14.invisionfree.com/Conchologist_Forum/index.php?showtopic=27" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://z14.invisionfree.com/Conchologist_Forum/index.php?showtopic=27">http://z14.invisionfree.com/Conchologis ... owtopic=27</a><!-- m --></a>

Use method #1.  It should work on all forum websites.

Sorry, I can't help with number 1.

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem neither Bela fuscata nor Bela nebula...


ID help - mark - 09-27-2009

Hi,

Thanks to Marlo for the information but unfortunately I made the mistake with the posting.

Ale.v, I will not give up the Bela sp <img src="images/smiley/smile.gif" alt="" border="0" />(Bela decussate, taprurensis, ginnania ?)
Thanks for what help me till then and I would like to ask can I calculate on your help in the future? I have more small Mediterranean shells what tryind to identify. If I post them sometime can you help me again in verify/identify?

Regards,

Mark


ID help - ale.v - 10-02-2009

Of course, Mark.

I'll help you, if it is in my possibilities (I'm not an expert!)
