Re: shell or a sand?
The two on the left, made of sand grains, are not molluscan. They are made by various species of marine worms (Phylum Annelida). The others are all mollusks of the Class Scaphopoda, commonly called tusk shells. Third from left is Dentalium aprinum. Next is Dentalium elephantinum. The last two I am not certain about, since there are many small white species of tusk shells. Dentalium (Fustiaria) nipponica is one possibility. If it is that species, it can be identified by a long narrow slit beginning at the apical (pointed) end, and extending about 1/4 of the way down the shell.
