Help with Identification
Hello all, I need help identifying these two shells. I'm pretty certain the larger one is a Melongena Patula, but the smaller one I'm not sure of (maybe from the family Nassariidae?). Both shells were collected from the beach at El Cuco in El Salvador.

***Note: The smaller shell has ridges on the apex. They run perpendicular to the apex and are thick but not really noticable, especially in these photos.
