Hello All! I wondering if can help me indentify these shells!!
Hi Shannon, I have had a look through your shells and I can say they are all common species worth a dollar or two each for the most part. The 'Large shell' at the end of the slideshow is the only one I am concerned about as it is Charonia tritonis, the Triton's Trumpet shell. This is now protected worldwide by CITES and you will not be able to sell it without a permit from them.
As an aside, I have a friend in Seattle who may be interested in the collection if it is not too expensive, he gives talks and lectures to kids etc. mostly on insects but he is just branching out into marine life. Send me a personal message and I will give you his email address.
Cheers, Dave
