Description

Three lenticular, saltwater snail shells. A zigzag pattern appears both on the dorsal and ventral sides of the shells. The pattern appears to be faded to varying shades of gray dorsally, but remains black ventrally. There is a distinct lack of pattern nearing the aperture on the ventral side of the shell where the coloration is white to tan. The shells are dextral and have open umbilici. The apertures are circular in shape with simple lips.
