Found these shells at a NY beach but have no clue what type of snail they are. They appear to be of the same species, just different colors. The multicolored shell is not 100% complete some pieces chipped off.

I would have to see the bottom to take it any further than Naticidae. even then, without the speciemen, it would be anyone's best guess. there are a couple hundred species in this family. you probably have 2 of the same species. the white shell is older than the colored one. after some time tumbling in the surf, the colors of the shell tend to wear off.
