Strombus dentatus Linnaeus, 1758. (Synonym: Strombus samar Dillwyn, Morris, 1952.) Length, 35 mm; diameter, 13 mm. Shell: elongate; solid; axially plicate; with three or four toothlike projections at the base of the outer lip; glossy, maculated with brown and white. Spire: apical whorls attenuate; last whorl the largest; suture barely impressed. Sculpture: abapical whorls with 6 to 14 oblique, rounded, smooth axial folds; remaining whorls smooth. Aperture: elongate; outer lip thick, bearing three or four sharp, toothlike projections; stromboid notch obscured by the projections; columella with spiral lirae apically and abapically; interior of body whorl with 30 to 40 lirae. Color: cream, irregularly clouded or maculated with brown. Animal: mottled green; proboscis dark green with cream spots (F. Adams, 1967).
Living animals have been dredged at depths of 70 to 80 m. Fossil shells are found in Pleistocene reefs 500 feet above sea level on Lanai (Abbott, 1960).
S. dentatus ranges throughout the Indo-West Pacific from Mozambique and Zanzibar through Polynesia (Abbott, 1960).
