Abstract

An epitoniid specimen under the genus Cycloscala is mathematically modeled using parametric equations which allow comparison of growth functions and parameter values with other specimens of the same genus. This mathematical modeling approach may supplement the currently used genetic and microscopy methods in the taxonomic classification of species. © 2017 Author(s).
