Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| Heilprin 1887 | Shell irregularly oval, obconical, flattened, the flattened ยท appearance being due to three irregular swellings or knobs, one of which immediately adjoins the anteriorly directed fissure of the aperture; aperture narrow, projected forward (in its upper course) a.s a closely compressed fissure, which in a crescential curve ascends to within a comparatively short distance of the apex of the spire; outer lip? (broken in specimen); inner lip largely developed, completely concealing the whorls of the spire, and duplicating for a very considerable extent the outer lip; spire freely in- closed in a pointed superstructure, or dome, built over it by an extension of the mantle; surface covered with lon- gitudinal lines of growth, which extend continuously from the apex to the base. |
