SHELL ID

[bobbymila]

IM SORRY IM HAVING SO MUCH TROUBLE POSTING CLEAR PICTURES OF THESE SHELL-HOPEFULLY THESE PICS ARE OK-ALSO ARE THESE SHELLS MOSTLY REAL COMMON?

Picture 1 - Hexaplex erythrostomus, previously identified.

Picture 2 - Can't make out any detail in the object at center, but in the upper left corner is an operculum from a Pleuroploca princeps, a species I tentatively identified on one of your earlier posts.  It may have come from that shell.

Picture 3 - Melongena patula.

Picture 4 - Quite a display, but not enough detail to identify anything.

Picture 5 - Most of these I have identified above, however the shell at the right is Babylonia japonica, which is not a Panamic species.  It is from the western Pacific.
