Unusual conical shell

Recommended Posts

So this one has always fascinated me-always thought it was some sort of conical shell, but now not so sure? Also found in St. Louis county in the same rock as the "gooosneck barnacle", of which I will get better pics :)  Appreciate any thoughts!  Bone

The photos are a bit too grainy for me to make out more detail. 

Judging mostly by shape, I do wonder if it is possible that this is a platycerid gastropod, such as Spinplatyceras conicum (or similar).
