Description
A small, marine gastropod shell, likely a Cancellariid, characterized by its elongated, fusiform shape and moderately high spire. The specimen in the image appears to be a beach-worn or subfossil shell, exhibiting an off-white to cream coloration. Faint axial ribs are visible, and the aperture is partially obscured by sediment.
