Description
The length of the shell attains 8.2 mm, its diameter 3.4 mm.
gollark: This is also a great reason to learn maths, since old things like calculus, logarithms and (some?) trigonometry were not things for much of history, so you could wow the people of the past (if you time travel there) with such concepts (if you ever manage to explain it to them).
gollark: When I was doing music (it was required in year 7/8) it was rather heavy on theory and not so much on creative pursuits.
gollark: Besides, the other options were things like "drama" and "music" and "design and technology", and who wants to do those?↓ the person below is attempting to deceive us into believing that music is a subject people do; do not believe their lies
gollark: If I ever end up being transported back in time by several thousand years, I'll have a minor advantage if I can actually remember anything, happen to end up in the appropriate era for the particular dialects covered, and do not horribly butcher the pronunciation, see.
gollark: I also did very practical languages like Ancient Greek and Latin.
