Fossil records
The fossil record dates back to the Pliocene (age range: from 3.6 to 2.588 million years ago).[2]
Description
The shell size varies between 10 mm and 35 mm.[3] Size, color and morphology are very variable. The whorls have a variable number of more or less prominent varices showing foliaceous or spinose projections. They have a well-developed siphonal canal, and the siphon is quite elongated.[4]
Distribution
This quite common species ioccurs in the Mediterranean Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean off Portugal, Morocco and the Canaries and in the Red Sea.[3]
