Description

The length of the shell varies between 12 mm and 18 mm.

The narrow shell is turriculated with acute shoulders and with the ribs strongly projecting above it and then running across to the sutures. The ribs number about sixteen, nearly straight, prominent, crossed by very close, rather fine revolving striae. The aperture is rather narrow. The siphonal canal is narrow and produced.[2]

Distribution

This marine species has an circumarctic distribution, down to Massachusetts, USA; from the Bering Sea to Washington , USA. Fossils have been found in Pliocene strata of the United Kingdom and in Quaternary of Canada and the United Kingdom.

gollark: If its main advantage is that you can run your own server and it can magically run a room as a distributed thing on all of them, you should be able to actually run a server.
gollark: I'm mostly concerned with the server bloat.
gollark: But this also probably merges identity servers with the chat servers. Although maybe that was necessary anyway.
gollark: I think the situation might be better if identity servers also let you do direct user to user chats somehow.
