[Chez un Gastéropode, l'] «angle au sommet du tube coquillier» [...] [est un angle qui est] conditionné par l'accroissement du diamètre du tube, donc par le grossissement de l'animal. Celui-ci étant plus ou moins rapide, la coquille s'accroît en s'évasant si l'angle est grand [...], tandis que dans le cas général ou il est faible, il donne un spire plane ou hélicoïdale.
