Description
The size of an adult shell varies between 30 mm and 70 mm. The shell is yellowish brown. The shoulder is concavely flattened, with a crenulated margin next the suture, and a tuberculate periphery. The surface shows spiral, white, distant sulci, and incremental striae. The white revolving sulci on the brownish surface are very distinctive in this species. The aperture is white.[2]
