Description
The white shells have a turbinate shape and a broad umbilicus. They are characterized by axial ribs and spiral cords, that form spines at their intersections. The lip is not thickened at maturity. It differs from the closely related genus Arene through its lack of shell pigments and in the spacing of the axial sculpture.[2]

gollark: tcpdump doesn't seem to show anything when I open websockets or do regular HTTP requests. I think I misconfigured it.
gollark: You don't need NAT for that. Besides, it's not like the earth-consuming nanobots can't run their own firewalling individually.
gollark: I'm sure we'll run out *somehow*.
gollark: ANYTHING BUT NAT
gollark: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
