All right after much deliberation I finally decided to make this week's theme...80's Movie Trivia. I will be erasing the correct answers for this week...these will be insanely easy for some of you, and not so easy for others.

 

Good Luck and bring on the guesses.

Opaque shell is white internally and externally, apart from thin external pale-pinkish/pale-brownish layer deposited by external mantle in grooves dorsally and laterally; ribs receive less pigment so paler than grooves.

No pitch-brown/black marks on shell.

Aperture a gently bowed slit along entire height of shell, positioned ventrally on living animal.

1: extension of aperture at posterior forms exhalant-siphonal canal.

2: wide extension of aperture at anterior forms inhalent- siphonal canal.

3: curved groove, and ribs protrude as teeth, but no lip on body-whorl on inner side of aperture.

4: outer (palatal) lip curved out of sight into interior of shell.

Height (longest shell-dimension) 9.6 mm. Ardnamurchan, Scotland. April 1976.
