Description
The whorls increase rapidly in size on this very narrow shell. The nodular axials are more or less restricted to the periphery. The subsutural fold is obsolete. There are 21–22 strong nodules per whorl.[2]
Distribution
This extinct marine species is endemic to New Zealand and was found in Lower Miocene strata.
gollark: There are n roots but not always n distinct ones.
gollark: AKA "solutions", ish.
gollark: Neither, sorry. Values which make it equal to zero.
gollark: Yes. And not just x^n but x^n + 3x^(n-1) + 6 and such.
gollark: You may have seen that some quadratics have """no solution""" when doing maths. This is not true. The solutions are complex numbers.
