Guildfordia Triumphans
''Guildfordia triumphans'', common name the triumphant star turban, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Turbinidae, the turban snails. Description The size of the shell varies between 35 mm and 60 mm. The imperforate shell has a low-conic shape. Its color pattern is, metallic brownish-purple above, nearly white below. The six Whorl (mollusc), whorls are slightly convex above. The body whorl is armed around the carinate periphery with long slender closed tubular radiating spines, about eight in number on the body-whorl, and which are reabsorbed as the growth advances leaving only short stumps to festoon the Suture (anatomy), sutures. The upper surface shows a close revolving series – generally eight to ten on the body whorl – of minute laterally compressed granules. The base of the shell is slightly convex, usually with a marginal row of granules, and several rows surrounding the central callus. The Aperture (mollusc) ...
