Gemmula
''Gemmula'', common name the gem turrids, is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids. These snails have been recorded as fossils from the Paleocene to the Quaternary (from 66.043 to 0.012 Ma). Fossils have been found all over the world. This genus is still regarded as paraphyletic and should be revised. A high number of undescribed species are estimated to belong to ''Gemmula''. Since independent “Gemmula-like” lineages are distributed all over the turrid tree, a revision of ''Gemmula'' would entail again a complete revision of the family Turridae. They are venomous with disulfide-rich polypeptides in their venom ducts. These bioactive peptides are likely to become a resource for novel pharmacologically active compounds Habitat and feeding habits The snails in this genus occur mostly in deeper tropical waters at depths between 50 and 500m. Because of these deep habitats, little is known about their feeding habits. Taxonomy T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Turris
''Turris'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids. Description The generally large shells are variegated with spots. The fusiform shell is turriculated with a long, sharp spire. The aperture is ovate. The columellar lip is smooth. The outer lip is separated with a narrow profound sinus from the suture rather than distantly. The siphonal canal is long and narrow, straight and open.George Washington Tryon, Manual of Conchology VI, p. 160; 1884 (Description by Charles Hedley) The shell is large, with a tall slender spire. The outer lip is sharp, without fold or thickening. The siphonal notch is a deep slit with parallel sides following a walled-in fasciole. Within the body whorl are sharp raised revolving threads, a feature shared by related genera. The protoconch consists of two smooth rounded whorls. The operculum is unguiculate, with an apical nucleus. The foot of the animal is anteriorly truncated but obtuse posteriorly. T ...

Gemmula Amabilis
''Gemmula amabilis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. Description The length of the shell attains 40 mm. The pale yellowish-brown, fusiform shell is rather solid. It is spirally girdled with sutures sculpted with incremental striae. The first cingulum (the spiral ornamentation) is distinctly nodose.

Turridae is a taxonomic family name for a number of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea. MolluscaBase (2018). Turridae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1853 (1838). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=152 on 2018-07-22 The family name Turridae was originally given to a very large group of several thousand sea snail species that were thought to be closely related. The family was described with about 700 genus-group taxa and an estimated 10,000 recent and fossil species. However, that original grouping was discovered to be polyphyletic. In recent years, the family Turridae has been much reduced in size, because a number of other families were created to contain the monophyletic lineages that had previously been thought to belong in the same family. The common name ''turrids'' is still used informally to refer to the polyphyletic group. Distribution Species in the family ...
