Description
A medium-sized marine gastropod shell, characterized by its elongated, fusiform shape and a moderately high, conical spire. The shell exhibits a striking contrast between its light yellowish-brown to cream exterior and a deep, dark chocolate brown aperture interior. The outer lip is thickened and flared, and the shell surface shows distinct sculpture, particularly on the spire.
