Description
The height of the white shell varies between 3 mm and 6 mm. It contains 3-4 whorls that increase rapidly in size. They are very convex and spirally striate. They contain thin, low, longitudinal, not synchronized varices; this makes it unusual. The aperture is produced below.[3][4]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off New Zealand and Japan.
gollark: I assumed it was a small enough effect that it wasn't worth doing much about.
gollark: It takes the entity's existing position then adds their velocity multiplied by expected laser time.
gollark: The location to fire the laser at.
gollark: s is displacement and v is velocity.
gollark: Lasers go at 1.5 somethings, apparently.
