Description
Sixty-two turbinate, marine snail shells. The shells are gray with a brown to darker gray zig zag vertical striping that gives a zebra like appearance. A representative shell has six whorls with shallow, but distinct sutures. The representative shell, like a few others in this lot, has retained its operculum. The shells are dextral with tear drop shaped apertures and thin lips.
