A few Gastropods from Seychelles
Hi there. I still say caurica for your first Cypraeid pictures, the brown interstices between the labral teeth is indicative, also the teeth are too coarse for felina. I have caurica as small as this but it would be a very large felina.
The second Cypraea pics look to me like fimbriata rather than felina, the aperture is too curved and the teeth are too large. What size are they?
The 'Patellid' does not look like C. radiata, it is too irregular on the margin and too coarsely sculptured. I have a few dozen C.radiata from various localities and none look like this. I still think you should be looking at Syphonaria, note the syphonal groove in the left hand corner.
Dave.
