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 ...

Orculella Driana
''Orculella'' is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Orculidae. The genus ''Orculella'' occurs in the whole Mediterranean region. The richest areas in terms of species are Turkey and the Middle East, the Aegean Islands (mainly Crete) and Libya ( Cyrenaica). A few species inhabit Southern Spain ( ''O. bulgarica''), Sicily ( ''O. templorum'') and northeastern Africa ( ''O. tingitana''). Species in the genera ''Schileykula'' and ''Orculella'' are indistinguishable based on shell characters only. They differ however in the genitalia, primarily in the presence (''Orculella'') or absence (''Schileykula'') of a penial appendix. Species and subspecies Species and subspecies in the genus ''Orculella'' include: * ''Orculella astirakiensis'' Gittenberger & Hausdorf 2004 * ''Orculella brandti'' (Zilch 1960)Zilch, A. (1960).
