Enida persica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.[1]

Description

The height of the shell is 3 mm, its diameter 5 mm. The shell is small, solid and has a depressed conical shape. It is deeply umbilicated. The shell has six whorls with an elaborate sculpture. The lirae and carinae on the body whorl number together six above the periphery, while below it there are ten, all being more or less granulate. The aperture is subquadrate. The base of the shell is flattened. The umbilical region is somewhat excavate. The color of the shell show pale red blotches, of a trigonal shape round the last two whorls, and most conspicuous at the periphery.[1]

Distribution

This marine species occurs in the Gulf of Oman.

gollark: You can use informational time travel plus the fixed-timeline thing for hypercomputing, which is neat.

gollark: What I think a lot of settings do is have it so that you can transmit information to the past, but you can't edit history at all - what happened to cause the information to be sent, still happens. It's very confusing and can also be used for computation.

gollark: Er, future→past, I mean.

gollark: Any reliable past/future information channel would be data-mined to death, I think.

gollark: I mean, yes, FTL is equivalent to time travel, but I didn't mention that.
