How the shell is carried

It is evident from several features of the shell and its internal organization that the shell in this genus is carried with its principal axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the foot; that is, the spire is directed to the right. The flattened surface of the outer whorl thus rests upon the dorsal surface of the foot or upon the substratum when the animal is in a state of aestivation, a position which they had assumed in both instances.[4]

gollark: As of now, I have 755 tabs, which is down from 840 last week.
gollark: If anyone continues to be curious, the graphs are mostly at https://stats.osmarks.net/d/rYdddlPWk/general?orgId=1&refresh=1m (should work unauthenticated), there are guides on the arch wiki and such if you want to set this up on a server, and https://github.com/osmarks/autobotrobot/commit/4e1dc6b337110c20e2d194ee5c4517eea0abaea2 contains the integration code.
gollark: Also active users/channels on my """IRC network""".
gollark: I also have graphs of webserver requests/second, database activity, messages over SPUDNET, various random server hardware/software parameters, and active connections.
gollark: Grafana + Prometheus + some custom integration code in my bot.
