Description: Murex ternispina Lamarck, 1822 - black-spined murex snail shell, modern (latest Holocene) (~abapertural view) (~9.6 centimeters tall) This species is also known as Murex nigrispinosus. The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores. Seen here is a muricid gastropod with a spinose shell. The high degree of spinosity is usually considered an anti-predation feature. Spinose muricids typically have three axially-oriented rows of spines per whorl, so that each spine row is ~120º from the next. Conchologists have pointed out that such spine row distributions provide orientation stability to the snail and prevent sinking on unconsolidated, fine-grained, high-water-content sediment substrates. Another suggestion holds that well-developed spine arrays could act as traps for potential prey. Muricids are predatory gastropods. They principally prey on encrusting, conchiferous organisms (e.g., bivalves, barnacles) by boring through the shells. It's likely that the spine arrays protect the snail from predatory arthropods or fish while engaged in boring & feeding on prey.

Please see the guidelines covering overwriting.) Stereograms are stereoscopic images or animations which combine left and right frames showing slightly different visual angles to allow for 3D perception. The sterogram uses the side-by-side parallel-view method. The left frame shows the left eye's perspective, and the right frame the right eye's perspective. It might be possible to view this image without a viewing device by diverging your eyes to visually combine the frames, or a stereoscope may be used. Murex pecten.
