Can't help with the ID's, but would sure like to know what you're using to
make the photos.

Subject: ID help with a couple of micro gastropods


Hello Conch-Lers,

I have two micro gastropods (less than 3mm) that I could use some help
with in the identification.  Maybe someone can at least point me to the
correct family.  Both specimens were dead collected from Easter Island
at 200m.

Specimen 1 probably had a longer siphon, but I'm not sure.

Specimen 2 is very interesting.  Has the general shape of Dialidae,
however, I have never seen a Dialidae species with this kind of
sculpture.  The lip was a simple, thin curved lip, but I chipped it
while cleaning it.

Thank you in advance for your help.
