Description

The size of the shell varies between 15 mm and 24 mm. This is the southern variety of Calliostoma bairdii of which W.H. Dall considered it to be a variety. It is paler and more delicately colored. It is less elevated and its lateral outlines are slightly concave.[2][3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Key West, USA, at depths between 26 m and 443 m.

gollark: It doesn't use UUIDs anywhere, no.
gollark: Also an asymmetric mode where arbitrary devices can listen and send responses to stuff but only authorised ones can send.
gollark: SPUDNET uses purely string channels and has per-channel keybased authentication.
gollark: As a mostly internal service for PotatOS and such it is also not open sourced.
gollark: I'm osmarks, the web UI is mine, and the new URL is skynet.osmarks.net. I don't think it allows tables as channels now. SPUDNET is more complex and somewhat poorly documented.
