1. Phos tectum
2. Strombus (Canarium) mutabile
3. Fissurella sp., probably F. barbadensis
4. Thais aculeata, immature
5. Conus furvus
6. Turritella sp., perhaps T. sanguinea
7. Turritella sp., looks like T. cingulifera
8. Conus radiatus
9. Babylonia lutosa, immature
10. Cymatium sp., immature, perhaps C. vespaceum

OK, if #6 is from Costa Rica then it can't be T. sanguinea.  If east coast, Turritella variegata.  If west coast, a bit tougher, probably T. leucostoma or T. anactor.  It's always best to mention the locality and the specimen size when posting a picture, if that information is available.  Similar species sometimes live in widely separated geographic areas.

Data on #3 (the limpet) would be nice, esp. if it could be <i>barbadensis</i>.
