Description

Twenty-one globose, marine snail shells. The shells are off-white to light tan in color and have faint darker striations with slight growth lines. Closer to the apex the striations become deeper and more defined. The shells are dextral with four whorls. The apertures of the shells are tear-drop shaped and the umbilici are calloused but partially open.
