One sorta looks like a bumblebee snail, although not exactly. The bottom-most pic.

well, this snail is much larger than bumblebee snaill. The size is about 6 inches long and 4 inches tall

 

[Calappidae]

It's a cowrie. Specific species I'm not too sure.

The big shell is a Vasum muricatum, unless it's a low-spined variant of Vasum cassiforme.

The other is a cowry, of course, but juveniles are often difficult to ID. It would have helped a lot if you had mentioned where it originated. Assuming it's from the same place as the Vasum, it's either Macrocypraea zebra or M. cervus, or a hybrid of the two.

Cheers,



Don
