Extremely worn Cerithium dialeucum.

Hello Dave,
              i think cerithium dialeucum is not what my specie looks like. i search the name you gave and this is what i saw.
              Here is the link :

Your opinion please.

The problem is is it too worn to give a positive identification. When shells get as worn as this the colours often change completely, that is why I thought dialeucum. Look at the bottom specimen on gastropods.com. The Clypeomorus would not have such strong ribbing to me.

Hello dave,
                this are the new picture of the cerith specie that i post, cause i think this is not extremely worn as you describe it.
                in different angles :
