24 — Micro molluscs, various turrids...

Some small turrids. The largest is about 7 mm.
The Cove, south Piha.

These wee sea shells are turrids (Family: Turridae) and these come from The Cove at south Piha. They are a bit worn, but as far as I can tell there could be two species here. The long narrow ones could be in the genus Liracraea and the more rounded ones could be Neoguraleus. Or they could all be in either of the two genera. These were collected in April 2004. Chances are that these wee shells are endemic to New Zealand.
