Excerpt from The Mineral Conchology of Great Britain, Vol. 2: Or Coloured Figures and Descriptions of Those Remains of Testaceous Animals or Shells, Which Have Been Preserved at Various Times and Depths in the Earth Age makes a great difference in the form of the whorls of this shell, the young. Ones being roundish, and having numerous sharp radii in sets, composed of one long one very prominent at the commencement, and from two to five about two-thirds the length, and all passing over the front.
