Turricula (gastropod)
''Turricula'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Clavatulidae. Taxonomy Clavatulidae was raised, based on cladistic analysis, from subfamily to the family level by Rosenberg in 1998. It remained regarded as a subfamily of Turridae by several malacologists (Kantor, Sysoev).World Register of Marine Species: Clavatulidae accessed 1 April 2010. until a new publication in 2011 Fossil records This genus is known in the fossil records from the Cretaceous to the Quaternary (age range: from 70.6 to 0.0 million years ago). Fossils of species within this genus have been found all over the world.[...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Cretaceous
The Cretaceous ( ) is a geological period that lasted from about 143.1 to 66 mya (unit), million years ago (Mya). It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era (geology), Era, as well as the longest. At around 77.1 million years, it is the ninth and longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic. The name is derived from the Latin , 'chalk', which is abundant in the latter half of the period. It is usually abbreviated K, for its German translation . The Cretaceous was a period with a relatively warm climate, resulting in high Sea level#Local and eustatic, eustatic sea levels that created numerous shallow Inland sea (geology), inland seas. These oceans and seas were populated with now-extinct marine reptiles, ammonites, and rudists, while dinosaurs continued to dominate on land. The world was largely ice-free, although there is some evidence of brief periods of glaciation during the cooler first half, and forests extended to the poles. Many of the dominant taxonomic gr ...

Red Sea
The Red Sea is a sea inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia. Its connection to the ocean is in the south, through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait and the Gulf of Aden. To its north lie the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez—leading to the Suez Canal. It is underlain by the Red Sea Rift, which is part of the Great Rift Valley. The Red Sea has a surface area of roughly , is about long, and wide at its widest point. It has an average depth of , and in the central Suakin Trough, it reaches its maximum depth of . Approximately 40% of the Red Sea is quite shallow at less than deep and about 25% is less than deep. The extensive shallow shelves are noted for their marine life and corals. More than 1,000 invertebrate species and 200 types of soft and hard coral live in the sea. The Red Sea is the world's northernmost tropical sea and has been designated a Global 200 ecoregion.

''Turricula barreti'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Clavatulidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2023). MolluscaBase. Turricula barreti (de Boury, 1899) †. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1478005 on 2023-08-12 Description The length of the shell attains 29 mm, its diameter 8.5 mm. (Original description in French) The elongated, ventricose shell contains eight to ten whorls. The protoconch, which is broken on the holotype, is obtuse and has the form of a proboscis. The following whorls are moderately convex and separated by a shallow, but wide open suture. At their upper part, they carry a slightly accentuated sloping ramp surmounted, near the suture, by two cords. The first whorls are adorned with nodular tubercles which soon fade and even disappear on the body whorl which only bears a kind of obtuse chain located on the angle which limits the ramp. This ...
