Bayerotrochus Westralis
''Bayerotrochus westralis'', commonly known as "Australia's split shell", is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Pleurotomariidae. Description The shell has a turbinate shape with an apical spire angle of approximately 90 degrees, with inflated body whorls that are proportionate in expansion so that the spire profile is straight, a clearly defined suture, and the periphery is oblique and slightly rounded. The base is highly inflated and lacks a columellar callus at the center of the base area. The aperture (mollusc), aperture is oval, the slit is positioned roughly one third of the way between the upper and lower sutures and is relatively long, about 19 percent of the circumference. The shell is lightly sculptured with very numerous fine spiral cords above and below the selenizone (the area where the shell growth filled in the slit), crossed by very numerous fine axial growth lines. The base has very numerous spiral striae which ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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'', 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.
