Fissurella Formosa F. Salvat
''Fissurella'' is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails or limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Fissurellinae of the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2012). Fissurella Bruguière, 1789. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138013 on 2013-01-14 Description The size of the body does not exceed or marginally exceeds that of the shell. The outer radular plate has four cusps. The propodium (= the anterior end of the foot) has no tentacles. Ecology Like all other fissurellids, ''Fissurella'' species are herbivores, using the radula to scrape up algae from the surface of rocks. Water for respiration and excretion is drawn in under the edge of the shell and exits through the "keyhole" at the apex. Species According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS), the following species with accepted names are included within the genus ''Fissu ...

Fissurella Volcano
''Fissurella volcano'', commonly named the volcano limpet or volcano keyhole limpet, is a species of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets. Like other members of the keyhole limpet family, the volcano limpet is not considered a "true" limpet. Adults measure up to approximately 2.5-4.1 cm with a keyhole-shaped pore on the apex of its conical shell. They feed on benthic microalgae and potentially some macroalgal, or seaweed, fronds. This species occurs in the Western Pacific Ocean, where it is found in the intertidal zone on the underside of rocks. The distribution is California and Baja California Baja California (; 'Lower California'), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California ( es, Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California), is a state in Mexico.

For some time he gave private lessons on geology, and subsequently became professor of natural history in the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle. He was distinguished for his researches on the fossil mollusca of the Paris Basin and of other areas Cenozoic cover. His studies on the relations of the fossil to the recent species led him as early as 1829 to conclusions somewhat similar to those arrived at by Charles Lyell, Lyell, to whom Deshayes rendered much assistance in connection with th ...
