Description
The length of the white, claviform shell varies between 7.2 mm and 8.9 mm; its width is 3.1 mm. The spiral sculpture of the shell shows sharply incised grooves, carving through the strong, raised axial ribs into distinct, coarse nodules.[3]
Distribution
This marine species occurs along East Transkei, South Africa.
gollark: However, if you transmit with several exawatts, you *should* be able to drown out all other transmissions on that frequency.
gollark: Well, we could use ISM bands, but everyone else is using those so ææææææ interference.
gollark: Also something something directional antennas triangulation.
gollark: This is true, I read about use of coherent RTL-SDRs to something something multilateration.
gollark: Or, well, indistinguishable from uniform random data, not really indistinguishable from actual radio noise if you're transmitting it.
