Gaza fischeri

Gaza fischeri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Margaritidae.

This shell iconsists of six and a half whorls, and closely resembles Gaza daedala, except in the following particulars.

The radiating lines, almost microscopic in Gaza daedala, are in this form impressed in the early whorls near the suture, so as to produce a succession of short ripples, following the recurved lines of growth, which give a fringe-like ornamentation to the suture, at the rate of about five ripples to a millimeter.

The soft parts are like those of Gaza superba, but the tentacles are shorter and stouter, the lateral lobes of the epipodium proportionally larger.

[2] This species occurs in the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and the Lesser Antilles at depths between 604 m and 1061 m.
