RE: Last One
If I didn't know where this shell was from, there would be many possibilities, especially since the picture is not very sharp. However, I live in the northeastern United States, and I am confident this is my local Urosalpinx cinerea, a species I have collected many specimens of. Eupleura caudata (also local) is quite different in shape, more depressed, with sharp varicies. And Buccinum undatum is more inflated, and is almost never found intertidally. It is a deep water species.
