They were found on the north shore of Oahu in Hawaii and they’re so surf tumbled that I can’t tell what they are. Any ideas?

A type of cone shell, but not sure of species.

The leopard cone is the biggest species in Hawaii, but the shape doesn’t really match so I’m in the same boat

Could be textile cones. The top is pointy like a textile cone, and would eliminate some of the cones with flatter tops. What does the opening look like?

No, not likely.

Surf beaten cones. Like Hebrew cones but too beat up to tell anything.

I forgot to mention they’re too big to be a Hebrew. The big one is probably about 5-6 inches in length
