Vexitomina coxi, also known as Cox's turrid, is a small, fawn-colored sea snail (a marine gastropod) from Australia, characterized by its turreted shell with concave whorls, strong axial ribs crossed by 10-20 spiral cords, creating nodules, and a distinct anal sinus on the outer lip near the suture, with a callus pad on the smooth columella, often showing irregular dark patches.
