Thanks.

Thanks so much. Do you have some clue about what kind of gastropod could it be? Thanks again

I believe the fossil lacks preserved details (it seems to be an internal mould, so no sheell preservation, nor ornamentation details visible) and is lacking precise stratigraphic information, making a specific identification highly speculative.
