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 ...

Gastropod Shell
The gastropod shell is part of the body of many gastropods, including snails, a kind of mollusc. The shell is an exoskeleton, which protects from predators, mechanical damage, and dehydration, but also serves for muscle attachment and calcium storage. Some gastropods appear shell-less (slugs) but may have a remnant within the mantle, or in some cases the shell is reduced such that the body cannot be retracted within it (semi-slug). Some snails also possess an operculum that seals the opening of the shell, known as the Aperture (mollusc), aperture, which provides further protection. The study of mollusc shells is known as conchology. The biological study of gastropods, and other molluscs in general, is malacology. Shell morphology terms vary by species group. Shell layers The gastropod shell has three major layers secreted by the Mantle (mollusc), mantle. The calcareous central layer, ostracum, is typically made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitated into an organic matrix ...
