Welcome. I'm from Portugal too.

 

It looks like a Miocene gastropod to me, maybe from Meco?...Sorry but i can't name the species to. I have some similar species but I'm more directed to vertebrates or echinoderms.

Hi. Thank you all for your help.

Vieira, I found it at Costa da Caparica ,

I'm sorry, i know nothing about the matter, I just take them home whenever I spot them. 

I'm attaching better pictures, and one were you can see the length of it's "tail"

 

Thanks !

It has a very long siphonal canal, but It will be a challenge to recognize a gastropod steinkern. I guess, it might be of a Buccinoidea ( /Buccinidae/Busiconidae (!), something in the line of Busycon or similar).

It's often hard to identify internal molds like this, but perhaps @MikeR can offer a suggestion.

As Don mentioned internal molds are difficult for exact identification with many paleontologists applying an id down only to Genus.  Yours appears very similar to Tudicla rusticula LINK from the French Burdigalian (Upper Early Miocene).
