The height of the shell attains 1.2 mm, its diameter 1.8 mm. The small, solid shell has a turbinate shape. It is pale flesh color, polished, smooth. It has five well rounded whorls, including a minute subglobular nucleus. The suture is very distinct, not appressed. The base of the shell is rounded with a narrow deep perforate umbilicus. The simple aperture is subcircular. The inner lip is hardly thickened. The body is covered with a thin coat of enamel.[2]
Distribution
This marine species occurs off Greenland, Canada, in the Arctic Ocean north of Bering Strait, at depths between 4 m and 931 m.

gollark: Why not just move your entire emulator into on-GPU code?
gollark: Anyway, I would recommend against using C++; use some other safer Turing-complete system, like PowerPoint or Magic: The Gathering.
gollark: C++ has atomics, but they're beeoids.
gollark: It would be completely compliant with the specification for it to send undocumented power management commands to your CPU's voltage regulators, and immediately fry it, if you had race conditions.
