Description

Two turbinate, marine snail shells. The shells are white to gray in color with six whorls. There are deep sutures between each whorl, each with raised vertical striations (ribs). Fine horizontal striations run along each whorl. The shells are dextral, with oval-shaped apertures. The larger of the two shells has extensive damage.
