The other ornament consists of several closely-set small spiral lineations, crossed by rather conspicuous growth lines, and accompanied by a peculiar damascened structure.

The protoconch is composed of two smooth whorls, the anterior being subangulate and vertically striated It terminates abruptly against the shell of the brephic stage, which is longitudinally, obliquely costated and marginate.

The columella is covered by a thin deposit of vertically striated callus and is twisted anteriorly.

[2] Fossils of this marine species were found in Miocene strata in Victoria, Australia.
