About Granata imbricata (Lamarck, 1816)
Granata imbricata (Lamarck, 1816) has a solid shell that ranges in size between 19 mm and 43 mm. The shell is very much depressed, white with scattered reddish dots, and covered in numerous, close, equal spiral riblets separated by deep interstices. When viewed closely, the shell surface is finely scaly. It has a low, short spire, and its four whorls widen extremely rapidly. The subhorizontal aperture is transverse-oval, and lined with closely sulcate silvery, iridescent nacre. The broad columella is flattened and slightly concave, with an arched, thin edge. This marine species is distributed off the coasts of New South Wales, South Australia, and Tasmania.
