    Nope sorry this is the best I can do.
    They look like slugs with a rounded shell on top of the snail.

    It may be a Stomatella that's lost the rear half of its foot recently. The first pic is in focus enough, but you really need more views than that (preferably one that is straight down on top of the snail) to confirm any ID.

    Cheers,



    Don

    It definitely has the right shaped shell to be a Stomatella, that would be my initial guess also.
