| Item | # 0003398044 | | Family | Epitoniidae | | Name | Cirsotrema pumiceum , (Brocchi, 1814) |
| Size | 10 mm, w/o |
| Locality | S. Spain |
| Note | G_EPIT_1998 (K1) - Subadult collected at 26m deep, Punta de la Mona, east of La Herradura, Granada, Andalucia. Operculate. Notice the dense intritacalx that cover the whole surface. This interesting outer layer, which could have the same utility than the more commonly encountered periostracum, is made, in the same proportions than in the underlying shell, with crystals of calcite and aragonite, which are deposited in arrangements that do not necessarily correspond to the microsculpture of the shell itself. The major difference between the shell and the intritacalx is given by the very low proportion of the proteinic matrix (conchiolin) in the latter. For more details, cf. D’Attilio & Radwin: “The Intritacalx, an undscribed shell layer in mollusks”, The Veliger vol. 13(4), Berkeley 1971, p.344. |
