Need some shells IDed

[Betta132]

I just got a bunch of seashells from a store near me that basically just buys and sells any small thing they can manage. They have a big basket of miscellaneous seashells for $0.25 each. The ones that I've managed to ID are all found in Florida, and the basket had plenty of white sand in there, so most likely these shells are found in Florida.

Shell 8 has a broken tip, it's not supposed to be that rounded. Shell 10 (big spiky one) is from a basket of shells I got at Hobby Lobby, so I have no idea where it's from.
I checked very closely, and shell 11 isn't painted. Those colors are natural. I don't have a view of the back because it didn't want to balance like that, but there's nothing interesting on that side. No differing patterns or anything.
Even just a confirmed general ID (whelk, cone, etc) is helpful, but I'd really like to have exact IDs so I can finish the index cards for my collection. I looked these guys up in the National Audobon Society shell guide, but it's possible that I missed them due to looking in the wrong section.

Bigger snail nerds be by to do better than this, but 1 and 3 look like crown conchs. I wouldn't be surprised if 2 and 4 were something similar. I would guess 6 and 8 are types of volutes. 10 looks like a Muricanthus, and 13 looks like a type of Fasciolarid.

better than the Audobon book---- http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Marine-Gastropods-A-Robin/dp/3939767093

7 looks like a fighting conch (I have one in my tank).

1 through 4 are Volema myristica, 5 is Canarium labiatum, 6 and 8 are Cymbiola vespertilio, 7 is Conomurex luhuanus, 9 is Cantharus tranquebaricus, 10 is a murex, probably a rough-water variant of Hexaplex cichoreum (although there are a bunch of similar species), 11 is a land snail, Liguus virgineus from the island of Hispaniola, 12 is Canarium urceus, and 13 is Hemifusus carinifera. All of the shells except the land snail are from the western Pacific or north/eastern Indian Ocean.

Cheers,

I know it's information overload, and a handful of species are misidentified, but www.gastropods.com is an awesome resource, and it includes many species that aren't included in the Encyclopedia and Compendium. If you know the family, you can look at thumbnails of all the species in that family, which makes searching faster than thumbing through a book.

Awesome, thank you!
11 being a land snail would explain why "pastel striped seashell" didn't get me any results. "Pastel striped land snail", on the other hand, has a handful of IDs right off.
