Shells from New caledonia

[sylvain]

Hello,

I'm new here so let me introduce myself. I just move from France to New Caledonia. I felt in love with Sea shells I saw in Noumea's shops. So I decided to find some by myself.

There are the first ones I found yesterday. As I don't have any books yet (some are in their way) could you please help me indentify them ?

I was going for Cones but didn't find any. Have you got some hints to find cones ? I don't ask for location but only tips on where to search (sand, corail, etc).

Thanks for all,
Sylvain
