17cm snail

[Pacific N]

I found a 17cm long , snail (house) - diameter is 10cm, Fuerteventura, Canary Island. Can anyone tell me what kind of snail is it ? Google and ChatGPT didn't help
Thanks a lot !

Possibly some variety of Conch?
Does the front have the curved areas for a snout and eyes? That would confirm it.

I don't see the curved flutes that conch have at the front.

This looks like a cone snail to me - fascinating and good looking snails, but venomous. Some of them are _extremely_ venomous!

Exercise caution if the animal is alive!

Possible cone which causes paralysis in anything it encounters and sundial snail
