Description
A conical marine gastropod shell, appearing pale cream to off-white with subtle brownish or orange markings, particularly towards the spire. The image shows what appears to be the soft body (mantle/foot) partially extended from the aperture, suggesting it is a live specimen or recently deceased. It is resting on a sandy substrate, likely a beach or shallow marine environment.
