@jwalit-nayak This is a modern shell (not fossil) but the shiny is mother-of-pearl and the holes are gastropod (snail) feeding marks. Carnivorous snails use an aparatus in their mouth called a radula which drills through the shell and they suck up the insides.
Wow! Thank you, @mackenzie-smith, for the information. It’s incredible to know the way snails eat 🐚
