The shell is white, with a broad chestnut band below the periphery. The tuberculations of the periphery are often long, spinose. There is usually a revolving row of nodules below the middle of the body whorl.[3]

Distribution

This species occurs in the Indian Ocean along the Aldabra Atoll and in the Pacific Ocean along the Philippines.

gollark: I don't see any reason it would be physically impossible or something, but it would be nontrivial.
gollark: Not with existing technology. Maybe at some point.
gollark: Especially since I think legally they'd have to pay for/raise it and stuff.
gollark: I don't see a significant reason they should be obligated to have the child for you.
gollark: Analogously, I would say you should probably not be required to have someone grafted to your circulatory system and stuff for 9 months if this would keep them from an otherwise lethal disease or something. You maybe *should* morally, but this is a different thing (and I don't think that really applies in the fetus case, as it isn't much of a "person").
