Thanks to you, @Machi for directing me to look up further to learn more about Limpets :)
Here is the article about the research on them. Do check out the video too in the article :

Wow, that is amazing! I never would have thought that a mollusk would have teeth, especially not teeth that are the strongest biological material ever tested
Thanks, @Machi for clarifying.
Limpets are cool too, recent research found that limpets' teeth consist of the strongest biological material ever tested, even stronger than spider silk or any other man-made materials!
Its definitely a limpet. The conical shell is very distinctive, and Chiton have plates down their backs. Thank you for the suggestion though, Albert! I am always in admiration of your collection
