Description
The diameter of the shell is 15 mm. The depressed shell has a turbinate shape. The spire whorls are somewhat exserted, all showing a pair of peripheral keels, which are strongly, or subsipinosely crenulated. The whorls are encircled by a spiral series of granules above. The base of the shell is smooth. The umbilicus is of a moderate size, defined by a riblet. The peristome is strongly crenately varicose. The color of the shell is whitish, stained with chestnut.[3]
Distribution
This species occurs in the Indian Ocean off the Aldabra Atoll; in the Pacific off the Philippines.
Apertural view
gollark: Phosphorus problem?
gollark: If so, hahahahahahano.
gollark: Oh, is the argument that you can just somehow scale power demand to match convenient supply somehow?
gollark: Would you mind actually summarizing it instead of posting a 41-minute video?
gollark: Hmm, according to a random article I found from 2009 there is enough uranium for 230 years of current consumption rates.
