The first shell seem to be a Telescopium telescopium (Linne, 1758) <a href="http://www.gastropods.com/2/Shell_222.shtml" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gastropods.com/2/Shell_222.shtml">http://www.gastropods.com/2/Shell_222.shtml</a><!-- m --></a>

The second one is a land shell, but I can't even name the family.

The left shell from the last link is a Cypraea tigris (Linne, 1758) <a href="http://www.gastropods.com/6/Shell_96.shtml" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gastropods.com/6/Shell_96.shtml">http://www.gastropods.com/6/Shell_96.shtml</a><!-- m --></a>

The right shell from the last link is difficult to identify from this kind of picture. It could be anything from a Veneridae species to some kind of a polished freshwater bivalve. A size and a view from the inside would be helpfull.

The second picture is a species of Amphidromus, a land snail. It is a difficult group to ID to species.  There are at least half a dozen supposed species with this yellow color and pretty much the same shape.

The right-hand picture in the third set appears to be a species of Veneridae (Venus Clams). It may be Amiantis purpuratus from eastern South America, but I am not certain.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-07-22 05:17:48 --</span>
