Description
The length of the shell varies between 9 mm and 28 mm.
A finely sculptured shell, conspicuous for a white somewhat raised band at the periphery of the body whorl, and adorned with other minor spiral bands. The coloration is a deepish brown. The outer lip is crenulale. The siphonal canal is slightly recurved. [2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off the Philippines and Japan
gollark: Why would they not:- look at stuff from orbit beforehand, or send unmanned probes- have at least basic weaponry available for defense against possibly hostile native life- have waaaay better medical technology and/or environmental protection stuff, thus making the deinosuchi not very threatening
gollark: Oh, and they need good shielding against high-velocity particles, which might work okay against some weapons fire.
gollark: Any drive capable of bringing you up to ridiculous fractions of lightspeed will have a horribly dangerous exhaust, the power sources necessary could also run tons of weapons, and you can use said drive things to, I don't know, accelerate asteroids to high velocities and crash them into planets.
gollark: Ah, but their ships themselves would have to be weapons to travel interstellarly.
gollark: Technologically speaking.
