here are two sources that I would try first: 1. A Conchological Iconography: Family Turbinidae (A Conchological Iconography) Loose Leaf – January 1, 2003 by Axel Alf & Kurt Kreipl (text) (Author), Kurt Kreipl & Guido Poppe Axel Alf (Photographer), ConchBooks (Editor) this may be findable on Amazon, or from shell dealers who sell books, or directly from the publisher. I have a copy, and still have many specimens I can not be 100% sure of. It also doesnt include species named since 2003. I am pretty sure it has all the species mentioned in the posted query. 2. Sally Kaicher cards for Turbinidae....you can find these online on the shell dealer FEMORALE website, where all the Kaicher cards are viewable for no costs....filed under "Kaicher Cards" and then by family, Turbinidae. An excellent feature of their website! On 5/6/20, Ron G.
