Distribution: Southeast Florida to Brazil; Texas. Size: 12 to 25 mm.
Description: Color whitish-ivory; shape broadly conic; sculpture of 10 to 11 extremely convex whorls attached by extended bladelike costae; shoulder tips of the costae are somewhat high and tapered, giving a hooklike appearance; spire extended; nuclear whorls smooth; anomphalous; aperture subcircular; outer lip thickened and somewhat flattened exteriorly; operculum corneous, paucispiral, thin.
Habitat: From shoreline to deep water at depths from 0 to 219 m (718 ft).
Remarks: May only be a subspecies of E. angulatum (Say, 1830). See Clench and Turner
