Israel Heymann Jonas
Israel Heymann Jonas (1795-1851) was a German malacologist. He studied medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität in Kiel, Prussia. Species named by Jonas The World Register of Marine Species has 104 records of marine taxa named by Jonas. Most of these names have become synonyms, except: Species named in honor of Jonas Hombron & Jacquinot naming a genus ''Jonas'' in honor of him; this is a crab genus in the family Corystidae. A number of marine gastropod species use the epithet "jonasii" or ''jonasi'' in his honor. * ''Arcularia jonasii'' (Dunker, 1846): synonym of ''Nassarius jonasii'' Dunker, 1846 * '' Baseodiscus jonasii'' Strand, Hjelmgren & Sundberg, 2005 * ''Buccinum jonasii'' Dunker, 1846: synonym of ''Nassarius jonasii'' Dunker, 1846 * ''Nassa jonasii'' (Dunker, 1846): synonym of ''Nassarius jonasii'' Dunker, 1846 * ''Nassarius jonasii'' Dunker, 1846 * ''Parcanassa jonasii'' (Dunker, 1846): synonym of ''Nassarius jonasii'' Dunker, 1846 * ''Siphonaria jonasi'' Dun ...

Malacologist
Malacology is the branch of invertebrate zoology that deals with the study of the Mollusca (mollusks or molluscs), the second-largest phylum of animals in terms of described species after the arthropods. Mollusks include snails and slugs, clams, and cephalopods, along with numerous other kinds, many of which have shells. One division of malacology, conchology, is devoted to the study of mollusk shells. Malacology derives . Fields within malacological research include taxonomy, ecology and evolution. Applied malacology studies medical, veterinary, and agricultural applications; for example, mollusks as vectors of disease, as in schistosomiasis. Archaeology employs malacology to understand the evolution of the climate, the biota of the area, and the usage of the site. In 1681, Filippo Bonanni wrote the first book ever published that was solely about seashells, the shells of marine mollusks. The book was entitled: In 1868, the German Malacological Society was founded. Zoological ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lutraria Maxima
''Lutraria'' is a genus of medium-sized marine bivalve mollusks or clams, commonly known as otter shells. Characteristics Members of this genus have large, elongated oval shells with two equal sized valves. The anterior end is somewhat sharply curved but the posterior end is more rounded. The valves gape slightly at both ends, more so at the posterior end. The shell is fairly thick and is sculptured with fine concentric lines corresponding to periods of growth. The basic colour is white and the periostracum is brown, but the latter is usually abraded. The interior surface of the valves is glossy white. The beaks are blunt and situated slightly closer to the anterior end. The ligament is small and largely internal. The foot is small and the siphons are long and are housed in a common horny sheath for most of their length. Biology These mollusks live buried in sand to a depth of about , usually below low water mark, with their siphons extended to the sea bed. As they grow they bu ...
