Description

Three isolated gastropod shells in fair to poor condition. All exhibit a compressed spire, an inflated shoulder on the body whorl, an ovate aperture, and a conspicuously large callous on the inner lip. External morphology is uncertain due to preservation, however faint growth lines are present on the largest shell, while small paired ribs are apparent on the smallest.
