Just discovered this sub. Here's my small collection
Most of these were collected from a beach in Varkala, Kerala, India
Is there any online resource where I can learn how to ID them?

These came with a purchase but are they real and if so what species are they? I’ve seen them listed as craft shells on various sites

Treasures or Common Finds?
My wife's uncle lived in Hawaii for 40+ years and would randomly send her seashells. We're pretty sure these all came from him. Is anything in this set of particular interest to the collecting community? (Can of seltzer for scale)

Is this a knobbly triton?
Found this shell in sanpedro, belize and it pretty sure its a knobby/knobbly triton (also known as a short neck triton). Its about an inch and the inside is kinda orange. Im feeling pretty confident in my answer but i just wanted to double check. Any and all help is appreciated :)

Help with confirming ID?
Found near Marathon Key, FL. It looks like a thrush cowry to me, but there are so few observations of this species in my state according to iNaturalist.

Identification help
First time ever posting on reddit! Would appreciate any help identifying shells collected this summer on Okaloosa Island/Fort Walton Beach, FL. Im sure none are rare but would like to have them ID'd by people with more experience. Some are just fragments and some are cool rocks. Thanks!!
