Eastern Banded Tulip (Cinctura hunteria)Observer
millerseDescription
This shell is absolutely gorgeous. The colors are very clear and it is fairly large. I included pictures of the topside and bottom side so you can see the color better.
Also included are pictures of the shell in my hand in by hotel room, so forgive me for not having it in the wild.

Shark Eye (Neverita duplicata)Observer
millerseDescription
I think this is something akin Neverita duplicata (Shark's eye). Was found near a stream leading to bay/ocean. Hermit crab was inside the shell using it as a home.
First picture is of the top side and second one is of the lower side.

There is a lot of sludge on this shell. I took three pictures so that you can see the topside and underside. For idenifying, the shell has lines of a dark purple/red color and the base color appears to be whiteish in color. The third picture is where you can best see the colors.
Found by stream. A little hermit crab was inside.

I believe that this is a clam of some kind. Appears to be very common in the area that I searched.
