Description
The length of the shell attains 4.5 mm, its diameter 2 mm.
(Original description) The abbreviate, white shell is ovate. The short spire is transversely, regularly finely granulosely ridged. Longitudinally it is indistinctly striate. The aperture is rather open and measures about one-half the length of the shell.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Tuamotu Islands
gollark: Twitch is easy but also kind of buggy and bad, apparently.
gollark: It's not like you need an entire giant modpack.
gollark: You'd probably be fine just putting a bunch of tech mods together, really.
gollark: i.e. the Overkill Coffee Machine, using TE (textures are glitched right now for some reason), RFTools, NuclearCraft, Immersive Engineering, Thermal Dynamics, Compact Machines and Actually Additions.
gollark: I personally like combining *lots* of mods in crazy ways.
