The lateral slopes are nearly flat and the anterior slope is broadly concave. Apex is distinct, bluntly pointed, slightly curved anteriorly, situated high over, and slightly past, anterior apertural margin, which is slightly convex. The posterior apertural margin is broadly convex and the lateral apertural margin is strongly arched, increasingly so posteriorly. Growth lines are fairly widely spaced in immature shell and in mature shell become more closely spaced and slightly irregular, showing middle wrinkling near base of anterior slope.
