Snails!!!!!?!?!

[Aspen35]

Was at the beach today in Destin Florida. Does anyone know what kind of snail this little one is? Don’t know anything about marine life, but was curious about identification. Any help would very appreciated!!

Hey
My attempt : Natica canrena, or Polinices duplicatus. That said, I won't bet my life on it
Could you provide a side pic ?

Looks like a moon snail to me, but hey, I live in Wyoming! What do I know about marine snails?

It’s about the size of a mystery snail for reference

Seems to like burrowing quite a bit too!

I think you're right as Shark eye snail is aka Neverita duplicata and Polinices duplicatus.

Beautiful whorl. Looks like it's made from china!

Its shell is pearly

I'm guessing Polinices duplicatus, as suggested by @Avel1896 above
