Description
The length of the shell attains 10 mm, its diameter 4 mm.
(Original description) The small shell has a fusiform shape. The spire is elevated with a rounded apex. It contains six whorls, slightly convex, with six sharp, slighdy oblique, transverse ribs arranged in slightly twisted lines radiating from the apex. The suture is impressed and distinct. The aperture is narrow, truncated in front, slightly notched behind. The outer lip is margined. The inner lip is smooth.[1]
Distribution
This extinct marine species was found in Pleistocene strata off San Pedro to San Diego, California, USA.
gollark: And you have to deal with allocating apiomemory and whatnot, passing pointer/length everywhere for arrays/slices, etc.
gollark: > less code =/= more simpleIt's Golang-like "simple", where you have to be overly explicit.
gollark: It's actually unparseable.
gollark: Regexes?
gollark: C is a simpler language than Perl/Rust, but C requires you to consider more low-level details so it's more complex for an equivalently functional program.
