Lophiotoma
''Lophiotoma'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids. Fossils of this genus have been found in many places in the Indo-Pacific, but also going as far back as 61.7 Ma in paleocene strata of Alabama, USA. Original description Although having the small smooth embryo of a single whorl, polished surface and obsolete lines of growth, characterizing ''Pleurotoma'' (now ''Turris''), this genus may be recognized at once by the relatively shorter and stouter form as a rule, less elongate and straighter beak, which is strongly tapering in certain large forms like line ''unedo'', finer, more acutely elevated and less close-set spiral carinae, with a usually distinct and even, finely lineolate concavity from the peripheral carina to the suture or subsutural collar, the latter being generally present and by the deep anal sinus formed centrally on, and not behind, the peripheral carina, the latter being more strongly elevated and usually subdu ...

Lophiotoma Acuta
''Lophiotoma acuta'', commonly known as the marbled turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Turridae, the turrids. Description The length of an adult shell varies between 30 mm and 90 mm. The narrow, fusiform shell has a high, acute Spire (mollusc), spire and is less carinated and has more rounded revolving ribs than other species in this genus. The shell contains 13 whorls of which three in the protoconch. The convex whorls are transversely sulcated. They are obscurely grained and ornamented round the upper half with a double zone or belt. The long siphonal canal is slightly reclined to the left. The shallow Suture (anatomy), sutures are characterized by large spots and smaller ones elsewhere, coalescing into longitudinal, undulated streaks.George Washington Tryon, Manual of Conchology VI, p. 170; 1884 Distribution This marine species occurs in the Red Sea, in the Indian Ocean, and in the Indo-West Pacific along ...
