Jewelry erringsJewelry errings seashells are among the most beautiful of nature's creations and they also play a significant part in the ecology of the sea. For instance, it is estimated that 90 percent of the mass of bottom dwelling animals of some areas of the oceans is composed of mollusks. It is also a well known fact that most of the fine beaches of the world are composed in varying degrees of fragments of shells derived from mollusks living in adjacent areas. The calcium carbonate fixed by them also contributes significantly to the mass of coral reefs. The distribution of molluscan fauna is not restricted to natural reef areas alone. Ecologically, the artificial reef at Pokai Bay, Oahu, offers many new niches for various mollusks. To date nearly 100 species of mollusks have been recorded on the artificial reef. Some are actually more abundant on the new substrates than in other natural areas of Oahu. Mollusks in this latter group include the vermetid, Dendropoma platypus; the endemic oyster, Ostrea hanleyana; and the limpet Hipponix pilosus. Representatives from most of the major families of mollusks, i.e., Mitridae, Conidae, Cypraeidae, and Cerithiidae, though not overly abundant, are found on the surrounding substrate or associated with the new surfaces.

Its aperture is almost straight, while that of the thersites curves sharply to the left. The teeth of the thersites are stronger and it is clearly a heavier species.
