Description
The length of the shell varies between 4.9 mm and 33 mm.
The shell has a yellowish ash-color. It is finely and equally decussated by longitudinal and revolving lines. The whorls show a narrow shoulder.[2]
Distribution
This species occurs in European waters and in the Canadian Arctic waters; on the continental shelf of the Alaskan Beaufort Sea[3]
gollark: Hmm...
gollark: Whitespace?
gollark: So you can implement forth atop my thing, obviously*.
gollark: Invent macro(n)s for the assembler.
gollark: It's constrained by me wanting to make the assembler very small due to laziness, and the fact that the ISA has no immediate operands at all.
