Carychium Tridentatum
''Carychium tridentatum'' is a species of minute air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Ellobiidae. Description The shell is 1.8-2.3 mm high x 0.8-0.9mm. wide. The shell is more slender than that of ''Carychium minimum''. If the last whorl above the aperture is opened this shows the parietalis (a spiral ridge on the parietal region projecting into the interior of the shell) descending in a characteristic double curve (see figure below). Distribution This species occurs in European countries and islands the Mediterranean, the Caucasus region and North Africa. It is recorded from Siberia as ''Carychium striolatum'' J.R.

Gastropod Shell
The gastropod shell is part of the body of a Gastropoda, gastropod or snail, a kind of mollusc. The shell is an exoskeleton, which protects from predators, mechanical damage, and dehydration, but also serves for muscle attachment and calcium storage. Some gastropods appear shell-less (slugs) but may have a remnant within the mantle, or in some cases the shell is reduced such that the body cannot be retracted within it (semi-slug). Some snails also possess an operculum that seals the opening of the shell, known as the Aperture (mollusc), aperture, which provides further protection. The study of mollusc shells is known as conchology. The biological study of gastropods, and other molluscs in general, is malacology. Shell morphology terms vary by species group. Shell layers The gastropod shell has three major layers secreted by the Mantle (mollusc), mantle. The calcareous central layer, tracum, is typically made of calcium carbonate precipitated into an organic matrix known as c ...

Channel Islands
The Channel Islands ( nrf, Îles d'la Manche; french: îles Anglo-Normandes or ''îles de la Manche'') are an archipelago in the English Channel, off the French coast of Normandy. They include two Crown Dependencies: the Bailiwick of Jersey, which is the largest of the islands; and the Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and some smaller islands.
