Description
The small, thick, white shell has a discoid shape and is deeply umbilicate. It contains 3½ convex whorls with concentric, grooved furrows. The last whorls has a rounded shape at the periphery. The umbilicus is of a moderate size. The aperture is circular.[1]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Japan.
gollark: irc.osmarks.net is actually 103.85% up so your complaint is ridiculous.
gollark: OnStat would show just how reliable it is, except it seems to be down.
gollark: osmarks.net is *not* down, so it's more reliable than Facebook.
gollark: MANY facebook engineers have probably been paged and are probably rapidly quashing the broken firmware update or scheduler malfunction or 27 imploded network switches which broke.
gollark: That would be wonderful, but they're probably too resilient for that.
