Description

The shell of Clavatula concatenata is characterized by its elongated, fusiform shape and intricate patterns. The length of the shell can reach up to 15 mm. Its family is Clavatulidae. Clavatulidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails. The whorls are adorned with tubercles or short spines at the suture, and the aperture is oval. The columellar lip is smooth, arcuate, and callous behind, while the outer lip is thin and arcuated with the anal sinus situated below the sutural coronal. [3]
