Ecphora+Gardnerae

=Ecphora Gardnerae Gardnerae= (What a weird name ^^ ?)

The Ecphora Gardnerae Gardnerae (you try to pronounce it) is subspecies of fossil predatory sea snail, an extinct marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the rock snails. The etymology of the name "Ecphora" is Greek, meaning, "bearing out". The word was used by Vitruvius to signify the projecture of a member or moulding of a column, and here refers to the distinctive "T-shaped" ribs that project from the shell. These large CARNIVOURUS sea snails found in Maryland and Virginia became extinct more than 5 million years ago. //Ecphora// sea snails bored holes through the hard shells of other mollusks and other kinds of prey, in order to feed on their soft insides using a toothed, ribbonlike appendage (common to almost all gastropods) known as a radula.
