hi guys been poking around some more deposits trying to narrow down my hunting ground for shark teeth, only had a little look today, found lots of layers with various shell in.

informed the area is marine but some of the shells look like the type found is fresh water any help would be great.

location is colwell bay, isle of wight, u.k

Hi,

I don't see very well, but I think on your 3rd pic, the bigger ones are a recent mollusc : Pomatias (elegans ?). It likes calcarous ground.
