Identification help needed for the following interesting sea shells
0001  Tonna olearium - Brown Tun Shell
0002  Cassis cornuta - Horned Helmet
0003  Turritella duplicata - Duplicate Turritella
0004  Conus litteratus - Lettered Cone
0005  Mitra mitra - Episcopal Miter
0007  Nautilus pompilius - Chambered Nautilus
0008  Pleuroploca trapezium - Trapezium Horse Conch

The Turritella is most likely from the Indian Ocean. The rest are wide ranging through the tropical Indo-Pacific region, but are most likely from the Southwest Pacific area. They are all common shallow water species, except the Nautilus, which is common but comes from relatively deep water.
