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 ...

Neptunea Angulata
†''Neptunea angulata'' is an extinct species of large fossil sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Buccinidae The Buccinidae are a very large and diverse taxonomic family of large sea snails, often known as whelks or true whelks.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2010). Buccinidae. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. A .... There is some confusion concerning the nomenclature (the naming) of this extinct taxon. The species was formerly known as '' Neptunea contraria''. This is, however, the name of a modern extant species, and therefore the two names are ''not'' synonyms. This has been clarified by Nelson & Pain, 1986.Nelson, C.M. & Pain, T. (1986) Linnaeus' Neptunea (Mollusca: Gastropoda). ''Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society'', 88: 291-305.
