This lot is mostly West Virginia swirls.

I think I might see a Peltier slag toward the bottom. (2nd marble from the bottom, sort of in the middle of the "row")

The largest marble looks like it could have oxblood but I'm not sure about that because I don't remember marbles that large having oxblood.

The 2nd row from the top, the marble at the right end of the row. I think that's a slag. That could be worth separating out and selling with other slags.

On the bottom row, the marble in the center, that looks like it could be a patch of some sort.

I'll say West Virginia swirls for the rest of them.

You might want to sell these in groups without worrying a lot about ID. You could put some keywords to help draw attention to your auctions. But it takes a lot of time to learn how to ID marbles, and then to learn how to grade them well.

This one looks oxbloody but I really don't know what to make of it. I would want to call an oxblood swirl an Akro, but I'm really not sure.

I'd have this with the West Virginia swirls too, but I'd also describe it as a "transparent swirl".
