Help Appreciated.
Hello everyone,
Recently my grandfather gave me a large box of unidentified shells from all over the world, and I'm looking to identify as many as I can. There's some I'm completely stuck on, though, so any suggestions/information would be much appreciated. ![]() Not sure at all what this is, but I thought I'd try my luck: ![]() ![]() ![]() That's only a fraction of what's in the box- but I'm starting small

Dear Rainforest,
To begin with: it is always better to photograph both sides of a shell so that you can see the back and the aperture. You have sent 4 photographs. I will start from top to bottom: no. 1 - Turritella terebra no. 2 - no shell ; it is a spine of a sea-urchin no. 3 - Pecten-species (for this I really need a locality where it was found) no. 4 - Lambis crocata (when the mouth is bright orange/red) |

Re: Help Appreciated.
I would say the Pecten is Pecten maximus, the Great Scallop, common in Europe.
