Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.
Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

This whole description is terribly written. edit

What do 5"50 and 12"20 mean? I have never seen this way of indicating measurement. It probably should be changed to a standardized measurement. Centimeters/meters would be the best. And is this species an organism or a "shell"? Shouldn't it be written that "this organism produces one of the true conch shells" or "...is considered one of the true conchs" or something similar? I suspect that the organism itself is not entirely made up of the shell. And maybe "Its shell is fairly common, but, given its attractive..." I would change this myself, but I don't know what the author intended. I have, though, italicized the scientific name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.121.233 (talk) 19:52, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Citations are needed in the description, as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.121.233 (talk) 19:54, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
