Could someone possibly identify this little guy? 1/2inch in size . My son found him at school in the playground. I think he is quite adorable. Thank you in advance.

snails can be tough to ID.  You need the actual shell but this is only the infilled cavity of the empty snail shell.  A natural mold. n And anyone here who knows snails would also need to know what age rocks it came from, which could be very difficult if it was found in the playground as playground gravel might have come from anywhere (likely in Indiana, but still anywhere in the state).

 

Having said all that, maybe one of our midwestern colleagues may actually be able to help you more than I can.

A side view of it would be helpful.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
