The length of the shell varies between 2 mm and 2.9 mm. The white shell is thin, semitransparent, very glossy and shows microscopic growth lines. There are three whorls besides the protoconch. The suture is very narrow, slightly excavated and margined by the overlapping of the whorls. The umbilicus is lacking. The columellar tooth is represented by a broad, but not conspicuous, fold.[4]

gollark: It seems kind of horrifying that SIM cards do so much. This sort of thing is bound to have vulnerabilities.
gollark: I currently use caddy with php-fpm (connected over FastCGI) for that one stupid PHP application I have to run.
gollark: People *use* that?
gollark: I can anecdotally confirm that my Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 or whatever the stupidly long brand name is works very well under Linux. Except for some random dropouts which were fixed when I switched NetworkManager to using `iwd` instead of `wpa_supplicant`.
gollark: Without computers lots of stuff will break. If you consider microcontrollers to be computers that is. Otherwise somewhat less stuff.
