I purchased a handful of landsnail shells from Green Mountain, Ascension Island. I don't know my landsnail names very well, if at all. I don't expect anything very rare (except that they ARE from Ascension Island), but can someone help identify them? Even to the Genus name would be helpful, as I am planning on displaying them in a shell show display this weekend (Broward Shell Show).

Pictures can be found here:

There is one picture w/ all 15 shells, and 3 other pics are close-up photos.

On the conglomerate picture, the top row of 9 shells are about 8-15mm. The third specimen from the left has a brown stripe around the periphery of the body whorl which I tried to show, the others don't seem to have that.

On the bottom row, there are 5 of one species, and one of another (I think). The small one is about 4mm. The others are 10-20mm.

Thank you in advance.

Tom Ball
