BIRUG 19254 - Cookia sulcata Gastropod

BIRUG19254 is a sea snail from the family Turbinidae and is sometimes colloquially referred to as Cook's Turban. This family of sea snails was named in 1815 based on the conspiral shape of their shells, which was thought to resemble a turban. As a deposit feeder and grazer, this snail feeds on organic material that drifts from down to the shallow seafloor it inhabits or the plants that grow there.

Cookia sulcata can vary in color from dark greens to orange and can grow to about 9cm.

This specimen was collected from New Zealand by Sowerby in 1879 and given to the Museum in 1916 by Sir George H. Holcroft. Scanning was performed by Sian Miller using an Artec Spider 3D scanner. Description by Jonathan Kimel.

BIRUG19254是蝾螺科（Turbinidae）的海螺，常被俗称为库克毡帽螺（Cook's Turban）。该科海螺于1815年被命名，因其贝壳呈螺旋状，外形酷似土耳其毡帽而得名。作为沉积食性与刮食性物种，该海螺以漂浮至其栖息的浅海海底或该处生长植物的有机物质为食。

库克褶纹螺（Cookia sulcata）的体色可在深绿至橙色区间内变化，体长可达约9厘米。

该标本于1879年由索贝尔比（Sowerby）在新西兰采集，1916年由乔治·H·霍尔克罗夫特爵士（Sir George H. Holcroft）捐赠至该博物馆。扫描工作由斯安·米勒（Sian Miller）使用Artec Spider 3D扫描仪完成，标本描述由乔纳森·基梅尔（Jonathan Kimel）撰写。
