Turbonilla schlumbergeri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[1][2]
Distribution
This marine species is endemic to the Azores, found at a depth of 620 m.[3]
Description
The shell of this marine species grows to a length of 7.6 mm.
(Original description in French) This delicate shell exhibits a highly polished surface and a tall, pointed spire composed of nine slightly convex whorls separated by distinct sutures. The body whorl displays a slightly more rounded profile. The aperture is elongated, exhibiting an angular shape at the apex and a rounded form at the base. The columella and outer lip maintain a near-parallel orientation. The outer lip is sharp and positioned perpendicular to the shell's axis. The shell is uniformly white.[4]
