Unidentified gastropods from Queensland
Hello,
I get these shells from a beach in Cairns (Queensland, Australia, Pacific O.). Sizes range from 13mm to 27mm.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.
Pierre.

Unidentified gastropods from Queensland
Hello Pierre,
This is some ways to follow, from left to right :
1 : hard to say, but can be a beached juvenile of Cerithium coralium
2 : Potamididae family, must be Cerithideopsilla cingulata
3 : no idea...
4 : genus Polinices, this looks like a beached Polinices bicolor, but the range of this species is near Taiwan.
5 : must be a juvenile of Telescopium telescopium

These species are typical from muddy sand substrates. Maybe this can help.
J'espère que cela vous donnera quelques pistes.
