Description

They are somewhat large sea snails - marine gastropod mollusks, with gills and a thin, circular, corneous, and many-whorled operculum. Their shell is conical with angular periphery. The spiral sculpture consists of raised cords, in many cases strongly beaded. The protoconch has a raised hexagonal pattern. The columella is simple above, not folded, and either simply concave below or slightly truncate and toothed. The radula has the rhachidian and 4 to 5 lateral teeth with irregularly oval body, and rather long, pointed cusps, their outer edges serrate. The inner marginal teeth are enlarged. The pseudo-proboscis of the animal is well developed[2][3]

gollark: Also because rechargeable batteries cost a bit more than nonrechargeable ones, I think.
gollark: Mine can't even boot to UEFI blobs fast.
gollark: Not yet, sadly.
gollark: And watch as it can't do anywhere near as much as your *actual computer*.
gollark: If you don't want that... make your own computer out of a microcontroller and simple-to-interface-with display, I guess?
