Dentalium (genus)
''Dentalium'' is a large genus of tooth shells or tusk shells, marine (ocean), marine scaphopod molluscs in the family Dentaliidae. The genus contains 50 described species and about 50 extinct species.MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Dentalium Linnaeus, 1758. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137886 on 2020-10-19 Etymology The scientific name of this genus comes from the Latin word ''dentis'', meaning ''tooth'', based on the tooth or tusk-shaped form of these molluscs. Description The mantle of ''Dentalium'' species is entirely within the shell. The foot extends from the larger end of the shell, and is used to burrow through the substrate. They position their head down in the substrate, with the apical end of the shell (at the rear of the animal's body) projecting up into the water. These molluscs live on seafloor sediment, feeding on microscopic organisms, detritus and foraminiferans. The shell ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dentaliida
Dentaliida is one of the two orders of scaphopod mollusks, commonly known as elephant's tusk shells. The order Dentaliida contains most of the larger scaphopods, and is distinguished from the other order (the Gadilidae) by the shape of its shell (the Dentaliid shell tapers uniformly from anterior to posterior; the Gadilid one has an anterior shell opening slightly smaller than the shell's widest point), the shape of the foot (the Dentaliid foot is boat-shaped with a central trough; the Gadilid foot is star-shaped), and the arrangement of some of their internal organs.

Antalis Vulgaris
''Antalis vulgaris'', commonly known as the common tusk shell, is a species of Tusk shell, scaphopods mainly encountered on sandy bottoms from 5 to 1000 meters depth. Description ''Antalis vulgaris'' is a small Mollusca, mollusc of 3 to 6 cm length with a characteristic elephant tusk shape. Its shell is opaque white and displays closely spaced longitudinal striations on the posterior portion. The anterior aperture (thinnest end) is circular and is occluded by a septum with a central pipe bearing a circular orifice. Distribution The common tusk shell is found from south-western United Kingdom to western Mediterranean Sea, Mediterranean. Behaviour Diet The species stands vertically in soft grounds and search the sand with specific adhesive tentacles (captacula) for small benthic species such as foraminifera. Reproduction Separated sexes. The fecundation is external and gives rise to planktonic larvae called trochophore. Similar species * ''Antalis entalis'' (C ...
