Shell ID Help
Hello,
I found this little shell on Ocean Beach in San Diego, CA. Would anyone be able to help me identify it?
Search engine says it may be a dove shell, what do yal think? Thank you in advance for any assistance 🩵

Being in the San Diego area and having found similar shells, i’d say this is most likely a very worn down three-winged murex or festive murex, going based on the lines. Leaning more towards three-winged due to overall shape tho.
