ID of shells found on east coast of UAE / Oman

[hobbes1]

cheers Dave; you have mail

ok, just thought I would continue to add some shells for ID on here, so I can refer back to all the info in one place

have been trying hard to identify at least the family and think have managed that, but seem to be facing lots and lots and lots of options within that, so any help would be much appreciated

I have come a long way in just the 2 days since first posting on here; good thing it is the school hols!

not entirely sure whether the cowries shown are indeed different or not!!

had a lovely day out today and found a whole new range of shells, just 20 mins up the coast in a different direction to where we normally go - was exciting! lol
