A collection of natural marine gastropod specimen shells representing several distinct families. The group includes multiple members of the Conidae family, featuring a textile cone shell with intricate brown and white triangular markings, an orange-and-white tessellated cone shell, and several examples with banded or speckled patterns. The Cypraeidae family is represented by multiple glossy cowrie shells, including a large spotted tiger cowrie, dark-brown mottled specimens, and a polished grey-beige shell with dark terminal markings. The collection further contains several harp shells showing prominent axial ribs and dark-brown banded dorsums with wide, glossy apertures. Also included is an Architectonicidae sundial shell with characteristic concentric spiral banding and a deep umbilical spiral, a polished cream-to-yellow spiral moon snail shell, and a ruffled white shell valve.
