Gastropod apertures reflect expanded states of their mantle edge under variable boundary conditions. The apertures are divided into two groups: apertures without distinct overlap zones (e.g., whorl overlap) and those with overlap zones. Each group follows a unique morphological rule. Apertures witho

## Abstract This paper discusses and corrects ideas in LΓΈvtrup and LΓΈvtrup (__J. Morphol__. 197:53–62, '88) on how differential growth rates around the aperture cause the gastropod shell to coil at particular angles. The relationship between position relative to the shell apex and growth rate is de
