Description
A medium-sized marine gastropod shell, characterized by its solid, somewhat fusiform to ovate-fusiform shape. The spire is moderately elevated and stepped, with a relatively smooth body whorl. The shell is predominantly off-white to cream, displaying subtle growth lines and a slightly angled shoulder. The siphonal canal is distinct, though not fully visible in this dorsal view.
