Distribution
This fossil species occurs in Japan and South Australia. The small, solid shell has a depressed-conical shape. Its height attains 11 mm and its diameter also 11 mm. The shell contains seven whorls and a wide open umbilicus. The nucleus is smooth and rounded. The other whorls are tabulate with an almost horizontal surface and the lateral surface vertical and somewhat convex. The aperture is subcircular. The thin peristome is continuous.[2]
gollark: I've read about something like that being used for some sort of photosensitive 3D printing thingy?
gollark: I guess if you just want one color (UV) there are probably UV-transparent LCD panels.
gollark: I mean, you could stick UV LEDs and a diffuser thing in place of the screen, but then it can't display anything.
gollark: I don't think it would be practical to make it still phoneish.
