Hello again
At the attached picture you will find some shells which I soppose belong to the Trochus genus.

http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/16010583937.jpg

The height of these shells is up to 15 mm and the diameter is 10 mm. There is no umbilicus present.

Maybe you can help my identifying these shells.

Thank you

This is certainly in the family Trochidae, but not in the genus Trochus. Probable genus either Jujubinus or Cantharidus. Species uncertain.
