Hi Rafa, the first pictures seem to be of some species of Ranellidae.The other three are:
#1 Conus ? catus, coronatus, too worn to positively identify.
#2 Cypraea errones
#3 Cypraea caurica
It would really help if when you post these pictures you could tell us where the shells were found and also what size they are. This would make identification a lot easier in many cases.
Cheers,
Dave

I made a mistake with badongo 3309727. I'll try to tell you where the shells were found but sometime is not easy for me because some shells are gifts and I dont know where they were found.
I'll send you the seashells size.
Regards,
Rafa

Here are two pictures of a shell I found in 2007 while snorkeling in Roatan.  (The pictures are fairly large - sorry about that.)  I am just curious what it is since it is very pretty and I have have never seen one with both halves attached and no holes in the shell itself.  My wife has it in our curio cabinet because it is that nice. I am total novice at this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.  You can just email directly at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:tpage@msu.edu">tpage@msu.edu</a><!-- e -->.  Thanks in advance. <a href="http://www.msu.edu/user/tpage/shell2.html" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.msu.edu/user/tpage/shell2.html">http://www.msu.edu/user/tpage/shell2.html</a><!-- m --></a>

Sorry about that post. I am new to this forum and I meant to start a new thread.  My apologies.
