"This is a fossil of a spiral-like shell that served as a home for a mollusk that existed millions of years ago, and its disappearance parallels that of the dinosaurs. The shell underwent a process of fossilization under pressure over a long period of time, during which it sometimes combined with other minerals such as quartz, calcite or fluorite that crystallized within the shell's texture."
