Two shells from Turkey (Aegean Sea)

Dear Paul,
The last week of april I was on a holiday in the Aegean. Found some shells in shell grit on an Island in Golikova Bay (Turkey)
which I don't recognise. Maybe you can help?

Hi Jan,picture 1 is of <i>Nassarius cuvieri</i> (Payraudau 1826)the One-banded Nassa a common, but very pretty, Mediterranean shell. I can't make out picture 2 as it is too small.

Dear Paul,
Thanks for the identication of Nassarius cuvieri. For the second one, I enlarged the frontside. Backside should be large enough:

Then there is this nice Cerithiopsis ?? of 11 mm:

Dou you now the species? (Also Turkey / Golikova Bay)

At last I would ask you to confirm my identication of this emarginula (same finding place)as Emarginula octaviana:

Hi Jan, still not sure about picture 2 but I think it is a Latyrus of some kind. Can't help with the other two at the moment as my European shell books are out on loan.
