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 ...

Tutufa Tenuigranosa
''Tutufa tenuigranosa'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Bursidae The Bursidae, common name "frog snails" or "frog shells", are a rather small taxonomic family of large sea snails, marine gastropod predatory snails in the clade Littorinimorpha. MolluscaBase eds. (2020). MolluscaBase. Bursidae Thiele, 1925. A ..., the frog shells. Description (Original description) The species might perhaps be regarded as a sculptured form of Tutufa bardeyi (F.P. Jousseaume, 1881). The aperture, columellar callus, and outer lip are entirely white. The columella is finely li above and more strongly anteriorly. The peculiarity of this species is the much finer granulation of the surface. The largest specimen is 193 mm in length.
