Description
The length of the shell varies between 35 mm and 43 mm.
(Original description) In comparison with Hindsiclava alesidota, the shell is more slender, the sculpture more elegant, the spiral element proportionally stronger, existing on the fasciole and siphonal canal, as well as over the rest of the surface. This is a very plain, simple looking species of a dull color.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs from North Carolina to West Florida, USA; and off Barbados and Guadeloupe. Early Pliocene fossils have been found in Venezuela.
gollark: Go's syntax is kind of nicer but its awful type system (yes, worse than an untyped language's) is... not good.
gollark: You know, it very much might be.
gollark: It's currently sitting at "basic features work" (editing, creating, viewing note pages), but more advanced stuff is not implemented because the design is hard to do elegantly.
gollark: It's going slowly because programming is hard and I'm lazy and conflicted on some design aspects.
gollark: Minoteaur (v2.0.0 really early alpha) is a server-rendered webapp using SQLite/Node.js/Express. I briefly experimented with making UI-type stuff run on the client but it was annoying.
