Object Description |
Fourteen turbinate, terrestrial snail shells. The shells are off white in color with very detailed ornamentations. Thin green color bands wrap around the shells and fade approaching the apices. Darker chestnut-colored bands accompany the sutures to the apices on the shells. Gray-purple stripes run vertically down the shells and perpendicular to the color bands. Dashes of light purple are found across the shells. The shells are dextral with seven whorls and oval-shaped apertures. |
