Bayerotrochus Westralis 003
''Bayerotrochus'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pleurotomariidae. The generic name ''Bayerotrochus'' is in honor of marine biologist Frederick Bayer.Cairns S. D. (2008). "Frederick M. Bayer – Commissioner 1972-1995, octocoral taxonomist and Smithsonian curator". '' Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature'' 65(2)86-87 The shells of the snails in this genus show a selenizone. Species Species within the genus ''Bayerotrochus'' include: *''Bayerotrochus africanus'' ( Tomlin, 1948) *''Bayerotrochus boucheti'' (Anseeuw & Poppe, 2001) *''Bayerotrochus charlestonensis'' (Askew, 1988) *''Bayerotrochus diluculum'' (Okutani, 1979) *''Bayerotrochus indicus'' (Anseeuw, 1999) *''Bayerotrochus midas'' (Bayer, 1966) *''Bayerotrochus philpoppei'' Anseeuw, Poppe & Goto, 2006 *''Bayerotrochus poppei'' Anseeuw, 2003 *''Bayerotrochus pyramus'' (Bayer, 1967) *'' Bayerotrochus quiquandoni'' Cossignani, 2018 *''Bayerotrochus tangaroanus'' (Bouchet & Métivier, 1 ...

Operculum (gastropod)
The operculum (; ) is a corneous or calcareous anatomical structure like a trapdoor that exists in many (but not all) groups of sea snails and freshwater snails, and also in a few groups of land snails; the structure is found in some marine and freshwater gastropods, and in a minority of terrestrial gastropods, including the families Helicinidae, Cyclophoridae, Aciculidae, Maizaniidae, Pomatiidae, etc. The operculum is attached to the upper surface of the foot and in its most complete state, it serves as a sort of "trapdoor" to close the aperture of the shell when the soft parts of the animal are retracted. The shape of the operculum varies greatly from one family of gastropods to another. It is fairly often circular, or more or less oval in shape. In species where the operculum fits snugly, its outline corresponds exactly to the shape of the aperture of the shell and it serves to seal the entrance of the shell. Many families have opercula that are reduced in size, and which a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tokubei Kuroda
was a Japanese scientist and academic. He is best known as a pioneering taxonomist and malacologist specializing in Japanese marine and terrestrial Mollusca. Early life Kuroda was born at Fukura (now Nandan-cho in Minami-Awaji-Shi) on the island of Awaji. He graduated middle school at 15, and was recruited as a houseboy by Yoichiro Hirase, a Kyoto dealer in poultry, seeds and aviculture products who had founded a side business trading in marine and land shells. While his employment initially included cleaning Hirase's large house and looking after his children by day, Hirase paid for Kuroda to attend night school and to learn English, at which he excelled, and arranged for him to learn the basics of systematic biology. A rapid learner and diligent clerk, Kuroda was soon placed in charge of the shell business, and became Hirase's secretary. He was instrumental in the founding and operation of Hirase's Conchological Museum (1913-1919), which was situated near Kyoto Zoo, and ha ...

Bayerotrochus Teramachii
''Bayerotrochus teramachii'', is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pleurotomariidae. Description The shell has a depressed turbinate shape with an apical spire angle of approximately 98 degrees, with inflated body whorls that are exponential in expansion, a clearly impressed suture, and the periphery is rounded and indistinct. The base is highly inflated with a small columellar callus at the center covering roughly 22 percent of the base area. The aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly halfway between the periphery and the suture and is relatively long, about 21 percent of the circumference. The shell is lightly sculptured with numerous spiral cords over 30 above the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit) and 17 to 19 spiral cords below the selenizone, crossed by strong axial growth lines which gives the effect of a coarse rectangular pattern. The cords are made up of very fine hemispherical beads. The bas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bayerotrochus Tangaroanus
''Bayerotrochus tangaroanus'', or Tangaroan slit shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Pleurotomariidae. Description The shell has a typical trochoid shape with a spire angle of approximately 90 degrees and nearly straight sided profile until the later whorls which are slightly rounded with an oblique periphery and a clearly defined suture. The base is inflated and rounded with a small columellar callus at the center covering roughly 10 percent of the base area. The aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly halfway between the periphery and the suture and is relatively short, about 16 percent of the circumference. The shell is lightly sculptured with fine spiral threads which are more clearly defined below the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit) crossed by stronger axial growth lines which gives the effect of a weak rectangular pattern. The base has 38 to 40 fine spiral threads. The protoconch and pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
