Description

Eight trochoid, marine snail shells. The shells are light tan in color with spiraling purple to chestnut dashes. The shells have approximately five whorls that reach a flattened apex. The whorls are covered in very faint nodules that merge to form deep striations on the base of the shells. The shells are dextral with oval-like apertures and slightly open umbilici.
