Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Hall 1856 (Pleurotomaria rotundata)Shell sub-globose; volutions about five or six, convex, the last one very rotund or ventricose ; suture distinctly marked, and the volution depressed just below it, and rising in an obtuse, undefined angle, below which is a distinct depressed revolving line, and below this again a similar sub-angular elevation, which'forms the upper limit of the broad periphery of the outer volution; thus making the upper side of the volution obscurely biangular with one depression between the angles, and the other towards the suture. |These angles and the depression between are distinctly visible in the cast.] Aperture broadly ovate; umbilicus small; surface marked by fine, closely arranged revolving striae. Diameter .09 to .45; height .04 to .38 of an inch."
