This fossil is a small gastropod shell with a tightly coiled spiral and a low spire. Likely Paleozoic or early Mesozoic marine snails. The whorls are rounded and preserve subtle growth lines, while the surface shows natural weathering that softens finer details. The shell retains its three‑dimensional form with low to moderate relief, suggesting original calcite material is still present.
