Is this a Fossil

[Ed_DE]

Went to the C & D canal in Delaware today fossil hunting. Finding a lot of these shells mix in with the Exogyra cancellata fossil I'm finding. Are these fossils also.

Also just notice in one of my pics is a fossil called Cretaceous Belemnite. Im going to have to collecting them.

Just looks to be the shell of a land snail. Not fossilized. Recent.

Agreed. It looks like one of the Triodopsis species, commonly known as the "Atlantic Threetooth". After they've been weathered for a while the darker brown exterior proteinaceous periostracum rots, leaving the pale-coloured carbonate hipostracum exposed.
