The spiny shell is one of several similar species in the genus Murex. I believe this one is Murex acanthostephes from northern Australia. It doesn't have an English name that I know of.

The other one is Tibia fusus, sometimes called the Spindle Tibia or Shinbone Tibia, a common deep water species from the southwest Pacific area.
