Definition: A two dimensional oval shape (circular shape with two axes of symmetry, one axis longer than the other) that is displaced along the longer axis.
Definition: A cell shape that approximates 2 cones stuck together at their large round surfaces. This is a 3D shape.

Definition: A state of the cingulum wherein the end of the cingulum is lower than the beginning. Facing the ventral side of the cell, the cingulum on your right-hand side is higher than the cingulum on your left-hand side.

Definition: A convex 3-D shape quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's resembling a cone (a 3-D shape with a round cross section that tapers), with a blunt end instead of a pointed end.
Definition: An oceanic front is a narrow zone of enhanced horizontal gradients of water properties (temperature, salinity, nutrients, etc.) that separates broader areas with different water masses or different vertical structure (stratification).
Definition: An aquatic biome that comprises systems of open-ocean and unprotected coastal habitats, characterized by exposure to wave action, tidal fluctuation, and ocean currents as well as systems that largely resemble these. Water in the marine biome is generally within the salinity range of seawater: 30 to 38 ppt.
Definition: A three dimensional shape that approximates a trapezoid. (see Table 1, Olenina, I., Hajdu, S., Edler, L., Andersson, A., Wasmund, N., Busch, S., Göbel, J., Gromisz, S., Huseby, S., Huttunen, M., Jaanus, A., Kokkonen, P., Ledaine, I. and Niemkiewicz, E. 2006.

Definition: A spheroid quality inhering in a bearer by virtue of the bearer's resembling a ball (a sphere whose equatorial diameter is equal to the polar diameter).
