Rubritrochus Declivis
''Rubritrochus declivis'', the sloping gibbula, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails. Description The shell grows to a length of 24 mm. The umbilicate, conical shell is solid. It is whitish, and maculated with purplish or yellowish. The six whorls are bicarinate at the periphery, all over spirally lirate. The upper surface is strongly radiately costate. The folds terminate at the periphery in short spines. The periphery is encircled by a channel bearing a median riblet. The base of the shell is convex, bearing 4 or 5 strong concentric lirae. The rounded aperture is smooth within. The columella is sinuous, arcuate, and dentate at the base. The umbilicus is moderate deep. This species is separated from all others in this genus by the scalariform spires, strongly plicate upper surface, and the deep channel encircling the periphery. Distribution This species occurs in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba The Gulf of A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rubritrochus Pulcherrimus
''Rubritrochus pulcherrimus'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Trochidae, the top snails.Bouchet, P. (2012). ''Rubritrochus pulcherrimus'' (A. Adams, 1855). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=567199 on 2012-11-23 Description The height of the shell attains , its diameter . The solid, umbilicate shell has a conoidal shape. It is lusterless, white with a series of red spots below the sutures, another beneath the periphery, and more or less closely red-dotted over the whole shell. The acute spire is conical, acute, somewhat scalariform. The sutures are very deeply impressed. The about 6 whorls are very convex and nodulose below the sutures. The entire surface is covered with spiral lirae which are distinctly beaded on the base, less obviously so above. They number about 12 on the penultimate whorl, 20 on the body whorl. The oblique aperture is subcircular. The outer lip is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sea Snail
Sea snails are slow-moving marine (ocean), marine gastropod Mollusca, molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the Taxonomic classification, taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible Gastropod shell, shell. Definition Determining whether some gastropods should be called sea snails is not always easy. Some species that live in brackish water (such as certain Neritidae, neritids) can be listed as either freshwater snails or marine snails, and some species that live at or just above the high tide level (for example, species in the genus ''Truncatella (gastropod), Truncatella'') are sometimes considered to be sea snails and sometimes listed as land snails. Anatomy Sea snails are a very large and diverse group of animals. Most snails that live in salt water respire using a gill or gills; a few species, though, have a lung, are intertidal, and are active only at low tide w ...
