AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A 49 mm specimen, showcasing a robust yet slender shell, with a moderately angled shoulder and a regular profile. The spire is fairly developed, with a complex apical pattern consisting of irregular bands and dark blotches on a light background. The body whorl shows a dense ornamentation of punctiform axial lines evenly distributed on a uniform yellow-ochre background. The pattern appears compact and clearly legible, with soft color transitions and no evident interruptions. The surface is smooth, with growth increments well preserved. The aperture is narrow and elongated, with a pale interior; the outer lip is thin and regular. A well-representative specimen of the circae form, appreciated for the clarity of the pattern and overall harmony.
