Description

One globose, marine snail shell. The exterior is gray near the aperture and gradually transitions to tan nearing the apex, likely due to wear. Internally, the shell is cream with an iridescent sheen. The shell has five whorls and is covered in striae that run vertically around each whorl. The dextral shell has a rounded aperture, a thin outer lip, and a thick inner lip.
