What do you call this bead shape?

I haven’t been able to find coral beads - or any beads this shape in my searches. Curious what they’re called, and if they’re an import?
I wear them a lot and had to replace a broken lobster claw clasp which looks like it was replaced before. Strung on waxed thread or sinew

@Conni That’s a nice necklace. I’d call it a spool shape bead. Sorry, I don’t know if it’s an import or not.

Bad eyes. I did not realize the two shapes were connected.
