Description

The solid shell is dark reddish brown. It contains 8 whorls, with 8-10 strong longitudinal ribs, and 10-12 threadlike, darker colored revolving ribs in the interspaces only. The outer lip is simple and somewhat thickened.[2]

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Northwest USA.

gollark: It may also be worth investigating high energy gender physics as apparently this is vaguely quantumly similar to small distance scale gender physics.
gollark: Their gender is determined by a periodic or just weirdly varying function.
gollark: However, we may need new theories of "quantum gender physics" for small scales.
gollark: Obviously people can change gender substantially over larger timescales.
gollark: Yes, but by how much? Are people making extremely small gender shifts constantly? Do genders change every time electrons move in the brain (by essentially zero amount?)?!!!!?
