Tylostoma Tumidum?

A lower Cretaceous Tylostoma tumidum, yes or no? I obviously did a little research on this snail. I picked this up is a in a pile of rocks from a quarry some where in Texas. Even with a chip off the top spire it's twice the size of a couple similar snails I've picked up.

I agree with the genus , hard to tell the species with a partial specimen

Definitely Tylostoma. I often have to have a handful from a site in hand before I am willing to place a species name on them. In the Glen Rose you can have a handful of species in the same strata.
