(Morphology — Gastropod Shell Morphology Quiz)
(Home) (The Mollusca) (Morphology) (BC Shells) (Gallery) (Unidentified Shells) (The Author) (Links)

This page is designed to test your knowledge of the features of the gastropod shell. The following image is identical to the one on the Morphology page, but with all the labels replaced by question marks. When you click on the question marks, a box will appear asking you to name the part. If you guess correctly, a pop-up window will appear with information on the particular characteristic. You may then go directly to the example page from the pop-up window, or if you like, you can go there from here by using the link under the image (Examples Page). Have fun and good luck.
