Description

The height of the shell attains 3 mm, its diameter 4 mm. The thin, small shell has a globose-conical shape. It is concentrically striated. Its ground color is white, covered with brown checkered spirals. The four whorls are ventricose with a bluntly angular periphery. The base of the shell is rounded and widely perforated. The aperture is ovate. The thin columella is arcuated.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off the Philippines and off Japan.

gollark: Fascinating.
gollark: This is why AMD was basically irrelevant for many years until Zen back in 2017 or so.
gollark: Each pair of "cores" shares a bunch of resources, so it isn't really as fast as an actual "core" in other designs, and I think their IPC was quite bad too, so the moderately high clocks didn't do very much except burn power.
gollark: See, while the FX-4100 is allegedly a fairly high-clocked quad-core, this is misleading. AMD's Bulldozer architecture used "clustered multithreading", instead of the "simultaneous multithreading" on modern architectures and also Intel's ones at the time.
