unknown gastropods from SW Australia - conchylinet - 10-14-2009
Hello,
Below are some beached shells from south-west Australia (south of Perth), can somebody help with the species (or/and with the families of the bottom ones) ?
Shells of the top are about 100mm long, bottoms are about 25mm.
Ta.
Pierre

1, Melo miltonis
2, Zoila friendii (badly worn)
3, Amalda lineata
4, Hipponix sp.
5, Cellana sp. (a bit worn to tell)
That M. miltonis is a nice shell, one that has eluded me so far.
Hope this helps.
