This is Murex (Hexaplex) regius, the Regal Murex, from West Central America. Value in prime condition, about $10.00.  This one has an obvious large chip at the lower end, and these frequently have borings and other damage on the upper side.

I would suggest taking some group photos, maybe a dozen shells in one picture. One pic showing straight on bottom views of the shells, another showing straight on top (dorsal) views of the same shells.  That would save a lot of time and work, and usually that is sufficient to get an ID if the pictures are sharp.
