the one of the Right looks like an Aporrhais pespelecani.
and the other one, i don't know... from this view looks like an Cerithium...
i don't know much about fossil gastropods, i'm just a seashell collector... i only have information about recent marine gastropods.

good specimen! :thumbsup:

Aporrhais pespelecani... you nailed it ulfsark :) thanks for the ID.

seems like it's pleistocene, not pliocene... so the other one must be from the pleistocene as well :D
