My friends, this is the same Pelican's Foot Shell, Aporrhais pespelecani, I had previously posted, a beautiful shell of the Mediterranean - Aegean seas system, also one of my favourite shells, displayed here from the aperture side. Maybe you will remember the small and narrowed foot of this gastropod from my previous post, in this aspect the narrowed aperture opening is evident, so are the four "prongs" shaped exquisitely from the expanded outer lip of the aperture, the structures which prevent the live mollusc from sinking, together with the drawn-out spire of the main body, into the soft bottom mud or sand, where they prefer to live.
The lighting was the same as in the previous related post, the aim to demonstrate the whorls and knobby sculpturings to a perfection. Hope you enjoy this macro shot as much as I do!

Dostlarım, bu daha önce de yüklemiş olduğum Pelikan Ayağı kavkısının, Aporrhais pespelecani'nin aynısı, Akdeniz - Ege Denizi sisteminin güzel kavkılarından birisi, benim de favori kavkılarımdan, burada apertür açıklığı tarafından gösteriliyor. Önceki yüklememden belki de bu karındanbacaklının küçük ve dar ayağını hatırlayacaksınız, bu bakış açısından da daralmış apertür açıklığı açıkça görülüyor, apertürün genişlemiş dış dudağından oluşan ve yumuşakçanın, uzamış kavkı gövdesiyle birlikte, yaşamayı tercih ettiği kumlu - çamurlu yumuşak zeminde gömülmesini engelleyen dört zarif uzantıyı da görebiliyoruz. Işıklandırma da bir önceki ilgili yüklememde olduğu gibi gerçekleştirildi, amacım kavkının sık sarmallarını ve düğümsü süslemelerini açıkça gösterebilmek. Bu makro çekimden benim kadar zevk alacağınızı umuyorum.

Son iki türde de derivatio nominis veya adının kökeni ilk dikkatimi çeken özellikler oldu. bu da eskilerin deyimiyle ismiyle müsemma. daha önce de gonderdiginiz bu güzel türü tekrar görmek ve değişik bir açıdan ne güzel. elinize sağlık. özenle hazırlanmış notlarınız için de bir kez daha teşekkürler.

Hello Mehmet. Stunning shot at this beauty. Excellent note and good texture of the shell. well done and best regards. Jusni

You have arranged this shell very artistically before taking its picture, Mehmet.
It is yet another beauty from your rich collection.
I usually read your notes and then keep looking at the picture for the special features you point out simultaneously.
Thanks for the valuable distance education on this entirely new field of human knowledge, my friend.
Needless to say, the image has been captured truly professionally.
Regards,
Ram

Memet,

A lovely image.
Great notes too.
Warm regards,
Mario.
