   While in Turkey and Greece I would find live snails that look just like that.   Must had been a good design. ???

Also there are three different gastropod species on this stone but the turritella are the most prominent.
Bits and pieces of "Oysteria" are on the stone as well but no teeth.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I rarely get out anymore but always manage to bring home something else to clutter up my home.
