Hello!

Would you mind help me to ID what sp. of Turbo I have? Size - about one inch.

It looks very much like a recently described species, Turbo fortispiralis Kreipl & Alf, 2003.  Had that species not been described, I would have said Turbo bruneus.
Those T. sparverius pictured are actually my specimens and yours does not look like them to me, I agree with Paul. Do you know where they are from?

Thank you, Paul!

How do you think, it can be this one?
