Description
The length of the shell attains 15 mm, its diameter 6 mm.
(Original description in Italian) This is also a species close to Teretia anceps from which it differs by the shape and the course of the cinguli, which are very numerous, not very prominent, and very close so that the interstices become minimal. The convex whorls have deep sutures. [2]
Distribution
Fossils of this marine species were found in Pliocene strata in Calabria, Italy
gollark: You shouldn't have to work around it. OSes should let you actually use them and work for you, not for some company.
gollark: Well, it does. Because you have to put effort into that nonsense in the first place and it may break later.
gollark: Yes. You can in theory work around the nonsense it does, but all you can do is work around it.
gollark: The whole thing, though, is that it's an OS *you pay for* (well, the manufacturer of the computer, the cost is passed on) isn't controlled by you and is actively doing things you don't want it to.
gollark: Yes, I should use random workarounds for the OS because it's literally working against me. Great.
