The apex is acute. The body whorl is encircled by three strong ribs, one on the periphery, the others above it. The interstices are lamellose-striate. They are plicate or lamellose-striate below the sutures.

The main part of the shell is coarsely commarginally lamellose and lacks radial costae.
|
|
Anoplotheca is medium-sized, with costae low and rounded, and lamellose growth lines developed.

Comparatively, GPx activity of E. lamellose was 5.3-fold higher than that of F. halicora zooxanthellae.

|
They also described a new genus Bassettella, which is characterized by enigmatic surface pits and lamellose frills.
|
|
The three known species of Loxochlamys share similar shape and micro-ornament, including a tendency to become commarginally lamellose late in ontogeny.
|
|
Trophon sowerbyi shares the strongly lamellose shell of T. plicatus but its lamellae are much lower and the shell has a distinctly subquadrate outline.
|
|
The shell surface is apparently devoid of ornament, except for the anterior margin of the trail which bears faint, irregular, undulating, and lamellose growth lines.
|
|
The whorls of the teleoconch are rounded, and longitudinally lamellose. The aperture is semicircular, with an exterior rib. There is no apparent spiral sculpture. The apex is retrorse.

|
Babelomurex tectumsinensis, common name : the lamellose coral shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
|
|
The base of the shell is convex, with 5 beaded spirals and lamellose ribs. Moreover the whole shell is covered with microscopic growth-striae. The narrow umbilicus is partly covered by the columellar margin. The aperture is subquadrangularly rounded.
|
|
The 6-7 whorls are obliquely lamellose striate. The upper ones are carinate and tuberculate or spinose at the periphery. The body whorl descends rounded or bicarinate and is spirally lirate. The base of the shell is conspicuously radiately striate.
|
|
The aperture is elliptical. The thin outer lip is rounded, incurved at the base of the siphonal canal, which is narrow, but very short, and straight. The columella is nearly straight in the middle. The epidermis is thin, lamellose, but not ciliated.
|
|
The six whorls show dense lamellose incremental striae and coarse spiral lirae. The upper ones are carinated, the carina becoming obsolete on the body whorl. The sutures are canaliculate, bordered below by a row of nodules. The round aperture is oblique and white within.
|
|
The sutures are subcanaliculate. The five convex whorls are encircled by strong spiral ridges, 3 on the upper, 4 on the body whorl, the fourth forming the periphery. The interstices are spirally striate, below the suture radiately lamellose striate. The base contains numerous concentric lirae.
|
|
The margins of the whorls are exserted, expanded, compressed, armed with triangular spines. The body whorl is sharply carinate. The base of the shell is radiately lamellose and ornamented with three or four granose concentric costae. The umbilical area is depressed, pale greenish or yellowish.
|
|
The peripheral carina is slightly nodose. The base of the shell is concave, radiately finely lamellose striate, with a somewhat nodulose rib revolving midway between the periphery and the center. The oblique aperture is silvery white within. it is angled and channelled at its outer side.
|
|
The first whorl has rather distant ribs. The next whorls have 3 spiral lirae (fine linear elevations) and radiating ribs. The last 3 whorls contain 5 spirals and thinner radiating ribs, which make the shell cancellated. These ribs become lamellose (with flared axial projections) on the lower whorls.
|
|
The sutures are deeply impressed. The seven whorls are well rounded, with close lamellose incremental striae, and corrugated by obliquely descending subtuberculose folds. The base is flattened bearing concentric densely squamose lirae, deeply concave in the center, and indented in the place of the umbilicus. The aperture is transversely oval, very oblique, pearly and somewhat corrugated within.
|
|
It isconstricted by deep, canaliculate sutures ; The five convex whorls are encircled by closely beaded equal spirals The interstices are lamellose-striate On the penultimate whorl there are (typically) 9 spirals, 17 on the body whorl, including the base. The body whorl is rounded. The aperture is also rounded. The thick outer lip is crenulate inside.
|
|
The base of the shell is a little rounded, radiately lamellose striate and concentrically lirate with three to five lirae, mostly tuberculate, especially in the young. The oval aperture is transverse, channelled at its outer angle. The short columella is arched. The place of the umbilicus is excavated, whitish, bounded by an intensely orange vermillion tract.
|
|
C. concholepas has a thick, slightly oval, and white-brown to purple-grey shell. Its very few whorls makes it resemble a Phrygian cap in shape. The outer surface of the shell shows strong lamellose ribs of which are both radial and circular-concentric. The shell is shaped almost like that of an abalone, with a very large aperture compared to other muricids.
|
|
The sculpture is somewhat coarse. Only visible under a lens, one can observe between the rows of granules, a few fine, spiral, elevated striae, 1 to 3 in each interstice of the body whorl, crossed by oblique, slightly lamellose striae. On the base of the shell one can observe also one distinct, and often 1 or 2 very small intermediate, lirae, and also less crowded oblique striae.
|
|
The spire contains six whorls. Those above are very obliquely striate and flattened, longitudinally inegularly plicate, sharply carinated at the periphery and produced into radiating compressed truncated digitations. The base of the shell is flat or concave, concentrically regularly and finely lirate, lirae number about seven, radiately densely, finely lamellose-striate. The aperture is very oblique, and angular at periphery, its lower margin nearly straight.
|
|
The periphery is acutely carinated, bearing numerous short compressed triangular radiating spines. The flat base of the shell is densely radiateiy lamellose-striate, with a strong rib revolving midway between the periphery and the center The aperture is oblique, pearly white within, transversely ovate, deeply channelled at the periphery. The columellar region is white, strongly bicostate, deeply excavated at the position of the umbilicus. The parietal callus is not much extended.
|
|
The blunt nucleus is rather smooth, followed by a whorl which is simply costate. The other whorls have 3 spiral lirae, crossed by ribs, which form blunt spines on the upper spiral, round beads on the median one and compressed, spinelike squamae (decumbent scales) on the third spiral or peripheral keel. On the body whorl these ribs become lamellose and double, each rib consisting of about 2 lamellae. The sutures are deeply channelled.
|
|
The color pattern of the first whorl is white the remainder brownish-red, streaked with white, ornamented with a zone of chestnut interrupted with white above. They are spirally lirate, and elegantly clathrate with lamellose radiating striae. There are four spiral cinguli on the penultimate whorl. The convex body whorl is elongated, with a zone of white and chestnut spots at the periphery, convex beneath, whitish or maculate with chestnut, clathrate, with about 4 concentric lirae.

|
Dorsal valve more convex than ventral one, with greatest convexity at anterior part, but recurved anteriorly; fold occurring at anterior 1/2 to 1/3 of valve, generally narrow and lower, with rounded top, moderately raised above slopes, giving valve trilobate appearance. Dorsal umbones rarely slightly sulcate or depressed. Numerous fine subangular costae separated by deep intervals, on each valve numbering 20-26, with 4-7 on fold and 3-6 in sinus; shell also bearing innumerable fine, conspicuous growth lines, becoming feebly lamellose or imbricated toward anterior margin.
