Object Description |
Four lenticular, marine snail shells. The shells are tan in color with thin brown and white color bands. Brown dashes and growth lines spiral with the shells whorls, with the same dash pattern on the bases and inside of the umbilici. The shells have approximately five whorls that reach a flattened apex. The shells are dextral with oval shaped apertures. The umbilici are completely open and there appears to be denticles that wind up the umbilici. |
