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 ...

''Turris amicta'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. Description The length of the shell varies between 45 mm and 65 mm. The solid shell has a fusiform shape. The shell is uniform white with a yellowish-olive periostracum. It contains 14-15 whorls, flat-sided and rather deep.

Turris Altispira
''Turris altispira'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turridae, the turrids. C. Hedley (1922) was of the opinion that this species may belong to the genus Turricula Description The length of the shell attains 21 mm. (Original description) The narrowly fusiform shell has a very high attenuate spire, which is nearly twice the length of the aperture. It contains about 13 rounded whorls. The suture is impressed, with a broad groove, or hollow immediately below it. The sculpture consists of well developed axial ribs, about six on a half-turn. These are crossed on the lower half of the whorl by four spirals, which nodulate the ribs. The upper slope being nearly smooth, but showing the growth lines of the sinus which occupied this position. The spiral lirae continue on the base. The aperture is narrow, contracted anteriorly into a siphonal canal. The outer lip is imperfect. Distribution This extinct marine species was found in Mio ...

Turridae
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 ...
