Epitonium cf. clathrus
A damaged specimen, quite worn too. Admittedly, it is much less beautiful than the modern version of this shell, which is commonly found here, but it's still nice to find a fossil example! It is a bit too worn to make a confident ID to species on this specimen, but seeing that most shells are from the Eemian, chances are good that this is the Eemian (and modern) species E. clathrus. But it still isn't completely sure, which is why I put it as cf. just to be safe.
Status: still locally alive (modern specimens are much more common than fossil ones)
Fossil occurence: rare
