Description:

The paler shell has no knobs on the shoulder of the whorl, whereas the darker shell has knobs. The knobless variety is less common, but it is far from rare. I seem to find more of the knobless ones in certain locations, so maybe it is a genetic thing that is frequent within certain populations.
