Description

Ten turriform, marine snail shells. The shells are combinations of brown, grey, and white. A representative sample of the shells has eight whorls, a white color band, and shallow sutures. Ornamentation consists of small ribs that become increasingly smaller approaching the apices. Shallow striations cut the ribs into two nodules. The shells are dextral with an oval shaped aperture and thin lips.
