Cirsonella carinata, common name the ridged false-top-shell, is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae.[1]

Description

The height of the shell attains 1.7 mm, its diameter 1.8 mm. The minute, smooth and glossy, cream-colored shell has a turbinate shape. The four whorls have an impressed suture. The body whorl is bluntly keeled at the periphery. There is a sculpture of dense spiral microscopic striae. The base of the shell is rounded. The umbilicus is narrow and deep, and it is surrounded by a callus funicle which expands anteriorly to join the simple lip in an angular lobe. The aperture is subcircular.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Australia, at depths between 73 m and 200 m.

gollark: Ah, according to the data I got off it, my drive was manufactured in 2012. Which is something like threeish years after the server came into existence, as far as I know.

gollark: Also, there was some admittedly small-scale testing by some computer review company and SSDs could mostly go significantly beyond their endurance ratings and manage hundreds of terabytes written. But also did tend to fail suddenly and inexplicably instead of having a graceful failure.

gollark: Store the hashes of things, expect more computing power later.

gollark: I mean that most of these things (HDDs *and* SSDs) will either fail quickly or probably run for quite a while.

gollark: I know this, yes.
