Hello plz share your thoughts on this one

It is a gift from a friend, who doesn't remember where exactly he found it, however he thinks it was Akamas Peninsula in Cyprus.

Try to compare with Charonia.

this link is very useful, however i cant understand whether the creatures it catalogues are possible to be fossils.  So the above would be a fossilized RANELLIDAE / Cymatiinae  /  Charonia lampas of sort - where as the below would be a fossil of the same family but Cabestana Röding, 1798 ?

 

 

 

(The small one has to be a fossil since I found in the same matrix a bit deeper down as other fossils.  - is that conclusion/assumption true or false?)

The first one might be Charonia variegata, not C. lampas. The small one does't look like Cabestana, to me. I don't know which genera/species might belong to.
