Turritellidae
Turritellidae, with the common name "tower shells" or "tower snails", is a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of small- to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the Sorbeoconcha clade. They are filter feeders; this method of feeding is somewhat unusual among gastropod mollusks, but is very common in bivalves. Shell description The shells of turritellid species have whorl (mollusc), whorls that are more convex and their aperture (mollusc), apertures being more circular than it is in the auger shells, which are similarly high-spired. The Columella (gastropod), columella is curved and the thin Operculum (gastropod), operculum has many horns. Anatomy of the soft parts These snails burrow into mud or sand, with their feet being relatively small. Taxonomy The following genera are recognised in the family Turritellidae: ;†Omalaxinae * †''Omalaxis'' Deshayes, 1832 ;Orectospirinae * ''Orectospira'' Dall, 1925 ;Pareorinae * †''Batillon ...

Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin , ) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age. Examples include bones, shells, exoskeletons, stone imprints of animals or microbes, objects preserved in amber, hair, petrified wood and DNA remnants. The totality of fossils is known as the ''fossil record''. Though the fossil record is incomplete, numerous studies have demonstrated that there is enough information available to give a good understanding of the pattern of diversification of life on Earth. In addition, the record can predict and fill gaps such as the discovery of '' Tiktaalik'' in the arctic of Canada. Paleontology includes the study of fossils: their age, method of formation, and evolutionary significance. Specimens are sometimes considered to be fossils if they are over 10,000 years old. The oldest fossils are around 3.48 billion years to 4.1 billion years old. Early edition, published online before prin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Natural History Museum At The University Of Oslo
The Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo (, NHM) is Norway's oldest and largest museum of natural history. It is situated in the neighborhood of Tøyen in Oslo, Norway. It traces its roots to the University Botanical Garden, which was founded near Tøyen Manor in 1814. Museums for zoology, botany and geology were added approximately a hundred years later, when the university campus in central Oslo had become too small for such purposes. Major proponents were Waldemar Christofer Brøgger and Nordal Wille. For most of the twentieth century the museums and botanical garden were organized in five different entities; these were merged on 1 August 1999. The current name dates from 2005. The Zoological Museum displaying wildlife from Norway as well as the rest of the world. The Botanical Garden contains 35,000 plants, 7,500 species and two exhibition greenhouses. The Geological Museum contain research material of more than 2 million fossils, rock specimens and mineral ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
