AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful, large shell of Charonia variegata, the Atlantic Triton or Atlantic trumpet, is a species of predatory sea snail, a mollusk of the family Charoniidae, the triton shells, or trumpet snails. This conical shell has an elongated and sharply pointed spire with no projections. The lower whorls are unevenly swollen with a varix and a bulge above the suture. The suture then descends along the irregular spiral. The parietal callus is lined with a narrow, dark inner lip, covered with regularly spaced, brown, ribbed folds. The outer lip is dentate, but less protruding and dentate with about 10 pairs of ribbed teeth laid over square, dark brown patches. The shell color is mottled in shades from creamy white to yellow with brown markings. The interior of the large aperture is orange-pink, and the interior is white. Dimensions - 100/130/255 mm. Highly recommended for collectors and interior decorators.
