Summary

Schematic representation/drawing of the apical, apertural and basal view of the shell (probably Trochulus sp.) shows of the 14 measurements. Dotted lines represent orientation axes.

  • N complete whorls
  • P partail whorls
  • NTW computed as the number of complete whorls plus the partial whorl (in degrees; divided by 360)
  • APX the width of the apex
  • SP1 the width of the first whorl
  • SP2 the width of the second whorl
  • SP3 the width of the third whorl
  • DWL the diameter of the spire without the last whorl
  • HSP the height of the spire
  • HFW the height of the first whorl
  • DPR the diameter of the peristome
  • HPR the height of the peristome
  • DSP the diameter of the spire
  • AES the shape, measured as the angle formed by the apex and the most external sutures
  • DOM the diameter of the umbilicus
  • WWO the width of the shell without the opening
