Description

Two obconical, marine snail shells. The shells are a creamy off-white with small specks of orange and brown closer to the lip of the shell. Very fine growth lines are visible along with nodules that run vertically up the body whorls of the shells. The apertures are elongated and both have small fragments of debris stuck in them. The smallest specimen is missing the apex but the other specimen appears to have three whorls. The shells are dextral with a long narrow aperture.
