Number 4: Turban Shells

Turbinidae

Turbinidae, the turban snails, are a family of small to large marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Trochoidea.

Turban shell (Turbo sarmaticus)

turban shell, any marine snail of the family Turbinidae (subclass Prosobranchia of the class Gastropoda) that has a wide aperture in the first whorl of the stout shell, which is topped by a bulbous, turbanlike coil.

The shell may be beaded, knobbed, or ridged.

The largest species of turban shell is the 20-centimetre (8-inch) green turban (Turbo marmoratus), native to the East Indies and Australia; its broad, round “cat’s-eye” operculum (lid for closing the aperture) is used for making buttons.
