Turcica

Turcica is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eucyclidae. Kano et al. (2009) have argued that Turcica belongs in the family Calliotropidae. The thin, subdiaphanous, imperforate shell has a conoidal shape. The whorls display transverse series of granules, the last rounded on the periphery. The thick columella is spirally twisted posteriorly, ending anteriorly in an obtuse, prominent point. The thin outer lip is simple and acute.
