Scaphella is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Volutidae, the volutes.[1]
Distribution
This is a tropical genus occurring in the Western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Description
There are both living and fossil species in this genus, which first appeared in the Paleocene.[2] The fusiform, patterned shell is small to large. The protoconch is smooth and papilliform, often with a calcarella. The columellar plates are weak or absent. The periostracum is present, but an operculum is not. The radula is small, and variable from Y-shaped to tricuspid.[1]
(Described as Aurinia) The shell is ovately fusiform. The spire has a mamillated apex. The whorls are transversely finely striated and longitudinally subplicate. The folds of the columella are obsolete. The outer lip is thin and simple.[3]
