Fusidaphne
''Pleurotomella'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae. Description (Original description by Verrill) As at present understood, this genus is intended to include those species which have a rather broad and very distinct subsutural band, crossed by excurved lines of growth corresponding to the form of the posterior sinus of the lip, which is situated a little below the suture and is always pretty well-developed, but is sometimes broad and shallow, and at other times narrower and very deep. The outer lip is always thin and sharp, without any appearance of a varix, nor is there any deposit of callus on the body whorl, in front of the aperture. The siphonal canal is well developed, generally constricted at the base and somewhat elongated, and usually but slightly curved. In a few of the species, doubtfully referred to hie genus, it is short and wide. The columella-margin is more or less sinuous. The protoconch differs in sculpture, and usua ...

Raphitomidae
Raphitomidae is a family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P. (Ed.) (2005). "Classification and nomenclator of gastropod families". ''Malacologia'' 47(1-2). . 397 pp. Bouchet, Kantor ''et al''. elevated in 2011 the subfamily Raphitominae (which at that point had been placed in the family Conidae) to the rank of family. This was based on a cladistical analysis of shell morphology, radular characteristics, anatomical characters, and a dataset of molecular sequences of three gene fragments. The family was found to be monophyletic. Description The Raphitomidae is the largest, most diverse and most variable taxon in the Conoidea, with the greatest number of species and the largest ecological range (from the tropics to the pole) and largest vertical range (intertidal to hadal depths). The shells of species in the Raphitomidae are very variable in shape (buccinoid to ovate, elongate-fusiform, or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pleurotomella Circumvoluta
''Pleurotomella circumvoluta'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Raphitomidae. Description The shell grows to a length of 12 mm. The shell has a strong superficial resemblance to ''Glyphostoma gratula'' (Dall, 1881), but with a totally different protoconch, and with differences in details of Sculpture (mollusc), sculpture. It also has not the minute punctation. The color of the shell is white or ashy gray. The protoconch and its whorls are heliciform, with a sculpture of slightly raised lamellae waved backward from the middle point of the periphery both ways. Under these are also fine revolving raised lines. The shell contains 9 Whorl (mollusc), whorls. The remainder show a transverse sculpture of from sixteen to (on the body whorl) eighteen narrow raised riblets passing entirely over the whorls, quite faint on the band and only obsolete on the Columella (gastropod), columella and the siphonal canal. Beside these the lines ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Whorl (mollusc)
A whorl is a single, complete 360° revolution or turn in the spiral growth of a mollusc shell. A spiral configuration of the shell is found in numerous gastropods, but it is also found in shelled cephalopods including ''Nautilus'', ''Spirula'' and the large extinct subclass of cephalopods known as the ammonites. A spiral shell can be visualized as consisting of a long conical tube, the growth of which is coiled into an overall helical or planispiral shape, for reasons of both strength and compactness. The number of whorls which exist in an adult shell of a particular species depends on mathematical factors in the geometric growth, as described in D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's classic 1917 book ''On Growth and Form'', and by David Raup. The main factor is how rapidly the conical tube expands (or flares-out) over time. When the rate of expansion is low, such that each subsequent whorl is not that much wider than the previous one, then the adult shell has numerous whorls. When the ...

Pleurotomella Bellistriata
''Pleurotomella bellistriata'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Raphitomidae. Description The length of the shell attains 25 mm, its diameter 12 mm. (Original description) The small, subfusiform shell has a rather short pointed spire and contains about 5 whorls. The large body whorl is somewhat inflated. The earlier whorls are nearly flat. The surface is sculptured with numerous alternating larger and smaller spiral threads crossed by fine wavy lines and by irregularly spaced oblique ribs, about twenty in number on the body whorl. The ribs are strongest at the shoulder, gradually disappearing both posteriorly and anteriorly. The shell is somewhat excavated behind the shoulder. The aperture is narrow. This form is from the Woodstock stage. Distribution Fossils of this marine species were found in Oligocene strata of Maryland Maryland ( ) is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
