Description

Three turbinate, freshwater snail shells. The exteriors are tan and covered in a dark colored dirt. Internally, the shells are dark tan but appear to have once been white. The shells have three whorls, deep, moderately defined sutures, and are covered with transverse growth lines. The apices appear to have worn away leaving an indented area. The dextral shells have tear-drop shaped apertures.
