	Dakshinavarti Conch, Shankh, Shank, Sinistral Turbinella pyrum, Right conch Shell, Sacred Shells (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		According to Puranas the thick sinistral shells are cosidered as Vishnu conchs and thin shelled conchs are called Laxmi Shell.
		Evidences of Sinistral conchs of Indian origin suggest that they can be obtained from several areas of Indian Ocean.
		For example the white variety of Sinistral Turbinella laffertyi which was once prevalent in Khambat is totally extinct.

	IS THERE A SURVIVAL-RELATED ADVANTAGE OF SINISTRAL COILING IN MARINE SNAILS?
		Although left-handed, or sinistral, individuals are known in many normally dextral species, establishment of left-handedness at the species level is exceptionally rare.
		Sinistrality is associated with intense sexual selection for mate compatibility; however, the trait is not thought to have any significant survival-related advantages.
		A reason to suspect this assumption might not hold is that the majority of crab predators that feed on snails are laterally asymmetric, typically having the claw they use to crush or peel the shell of their prey on the right-hand side of their bodies.

		New mapping and structural analysis along the JChF indicates that the slip is sinistral and may still be active, particularly along the western portion of the fault.
		We have recognized sinistral faults from the Island of Roatán in the north to the Gulf of Fonseca in the south.
		The sinistral faulting ended prior to the deposition of ignimbrite sheets in the Miocene which have apparently only been affected by the dextral faulting.

	The Genetics of Snail Shell Coiling
		The sinistral form clearly is the recessive character or allele, suppressed in a heterozygote genotype by the dominant wild-type character.
		And that means, that from the ss snails, sinistral offspring will reappear in the third generation (F3), one sinistral specimen in relation to three dextral ones.
		What one cannot conclude is, that a sinistral shell will have sinistral offspring, as it may well (even most certainly) have the heterozygote genotype of s+.

	Analog Models of Restraining Stepovers in Strike
		The results of a comprehensive suite of experiments in which sinistral strike-slip faults in the rigid basement were offset at angles that varied from 30 to 150o in increments of 15o (cf.
		By 8 cm displacement a pair of oblique-slip, sinistral strike-slip faults cut across the central region of the pop-up and linked the two PDZs at each end of the model (Table 1; Figure 3d).
		After 1-2 cm of sinistral strike-slip displacement on the basement faults, synthetic Riedel shears formed above the offset segments of these faults together with a wide zone of gentle uplift above the basement stepover (Figure 10a).

	Sirks - Plasmatic Inheritance
		A striking example of the influence of the plasm in inheritance and as revealed by zoological material, may be found in the studies of Boycott and his collaborators (1930) on sinistrality in the snail Limnaea peregra.
		In this case the first cleavage of the fertilized ovum is "dexiotropic" in dextral snails, i.e., both nuclei with their surrounding masses of plasm shift in both cell halves in clockwise direction, while in sinistral snails the movement is counter-clockwise.
		Conklin concluded from his observations that this difference between dextral and sinistral snails is rooted in the structure of the undivided egg-cell.

		The northeast trending shears were first thought to be sinistral, forming the conjugate pairs to the northwest trends (Emmet, 1983 and Manton, 1987), and may have accommodated significant plate motion as part of a diffuse margin between the CARIB and NOAM plates (Gordon, 1990).
		To explain the remaining data and the northwest topographic lineaments of the Valle de Jamastrán region, extension of the dextral MCSB trend was included in the strain ellipse model analysis (fig.
		During sinistral GFS motion the Tertiary intrusives that cut the Tertiary Padre Miguel Group on the adjoining El Paraíso sheet were intruded as massive stocks and as dike swarms injected along upturned bedding and vertical fractures within the Honduras Group metasedimentary strata.

	GSA Cordilleran Section Field Trip Guidebook: Independence Dike Swarm
		We interpret the oblique fabrics to have formed as a result of sinistral shear along the subduction boundary that was partitioned into the Late Jurassic magmatic arc.
		Partly on this basis, we proposed that the dikes and mylonite zones are expressions of a crustal-scale sinistral shear zone along the Late Jurassic magmatic arc.
		The intimate association of dike emplacement with sinistral shear suggests that the shear regime was transtensional.

	Discussion on incipient continental collision and plate-boundary curvature: Late Pliocene-Holocene transtensional ...
		Transtension is supposed to be dominantly resolved along 070[degrees]-slriking sinistral faults and that the 070[degrees]striking faults have strike-slip:normal-slip ratios of 10-100:1.
		The use of the latter fault as a marker is not compelling because faults on either side of the 070[degrees]-striking fault have different hanging walls.
		The dip of the graben sediments in the hanging wall of the Aghia Galini fault is to the SW and normal faulting at a SE-dipping fault would also produce an apparent sinistral offset of the sediments in map view.

	Pharyngula: Chirality in Euhadra
		One way to think of it is that the result of a maternal effect mutation is delayed one generation—the snail that has a mutation to cause a dextral twist will have a sinistral shell, but all of her children will be dextral.
		Sinistral species are shown in red and dextral species in blue.
		That means that a sinistral snail can mate with a sinistral snail, and their progeny may be dextral, and able to breed with the dextral population.

	British Shell Collectors' Club Sinistral Article
		A sinistral shell is a shell of a gastropod which is 'left-handed'.
		In the case of a sinistral individual, the body has twisted 'the wrong way' -anti-clockwise as opposed to clockwise -and the shell is then secreted to house this left-handed snail, also coiling in an anti-clockwise direction.
		These sinistral forms are found in the Philippines and are not too expensive to buy; Volvarina philippinarum is the most common sinistral freak by far, and sells for less than £10.

	Snail Kings - Sinistral Helix Snails
		Because of the rarity of sinistral Helix shells one would certainly assume, that shell genetics is based on a normal dominant-recessive pattern of heredity.
		The character "sinistral" shell then would be the recessive and would disappear when characters are mixed, which in genetics is called heterozygote.
		Snails that are externally dextral (that is called the phenotype) may have exclusively sinistral offspring, because they are genetically sinistral (that is called the genotype).

	Faux Sinistral Cymatium pileare (Linnaeus, 1758) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Initially their efforts were geared toward improving less than perfect specimens of rare shells to enhance their value.
		Over time, their efforts expanded to include such things as producing new color forms of a particular species, producing world-record sized specimens of a species from scratch (no actual shell involved), and producing sinistral specimens of desirable species such as Conus gloriamaris Chemnitz, 1777.
		As of late, it appears that they have expanded their efforts and have begun producing faux sinistral specimens of more common species such as the Cymatium pileare (Linnaeus, 1758) - depicted on the left below.

	CELL BIOLOGY: ON LEFT-RIGHT ASYMMETRY IN SNAILS
		Another common pond snail, Lymnaea is notable in that both dextral and sinistral forms are found in nature, with sinistral individuals representing up to 2% of the population.
		In this view, spiral cleavage is controlled by an asymmetry in the cortex that regulates the inclination of the mitotic apparatus prior to cytokinesis.
		By contrast, Meshcheryakov and Beloussov (5) attributed the reversal of cleavage pattern between sinistral and dextral species to a reversal -- from clockwise to anti-clockwise -- of the spiral rotation of the daughter micromeres during cytokinesis.
