Summary
A small elliptical pale brown Cowrie shell, with a white convex base, and very well defined teeth either side of the aperture. The base pale brown colour has numerous small white nodules, with a line down the length of the shell, which is where the animal's mantle flaps meet. There is no indication of where this was discovered.
