Description
(Original description) The shell is fusiformly ovate and longitudinally coarsely ribbed. The ribs are disposed alternately on the whorls, crossed by transverse raised striae. The whorls are roundly angulated at the sutures. The outer lip is incurved, serrated on its edge by the termination of the transverse striae. The colour is light brown, ornamented by one white band on centre of each whorl.[2]
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Hawaii
gollark: Possibly. Arguably it doesn't inherently have one but is just assigned one by humans.
gollark: I wouldn't say the virus has a goal any more than a computer program does or something. The difference is that if you set an intelligent thing a goal, it can reason about the best way to accomplish it.
gollark: Also, large-scale competition burns a ton of resources which would ideally not be used up.
gollark: I say this because you said> do you really want a second rate species succeeding?but it isn't a given that because something won at competition it's actually *better*.
gollark: It's the easiest example I could come up with. You could probably look at history or sports too.
