Description
The length of the shell attains 21.5 mm, its diameter 8 mm.
(Original description) The turriculate shell contains six whorls. These are scalariform, with distant obtuse ribs on the lower half. The suture is waved, with an impressed line above it. The body whorl shows an impressed revolving line above and four raised revolving lines inferiorly. The upper sinus of the outer lip is deep and rounded, the lower obsolete.
Distribution
Fossils of this species were found in Virginia, USA
gollark: To be fair, some people probably weren't managing well, but that's no reason to do this to everyone.
gollark: I was basically fine with the "not much supervision, you get set work" thing, but this is just stupid.
gollark: I mean, I was fine with working remotely. I could get more done, did not have to bother with (as much) busy-work, had a flexible schedule, sort of thing.
gollark: It seems like they just completely disregarded the benefits of asynchronous communication, and decided that they had to make it as much like normal in-person school as possible, even despite the detriment to... actually teaching things.
gollark: I got an email from them (not even to me directly, forwarded from my parents) and:- the removed week of the summer term is being added to the end- they seem to expect to reopen in a month or so?- half the lessons will apparently now involve "human interaction", implying video calls or something, which will be *really annoying*, instead of having them just set work- they're running a timetable?!- I'm expected to be up by 08:45⸘
