Marine biogenic calcification
Marine biogenic calcification is the process by which marine organisms such as oysters and clams form calcium carbonate.
Seawater is full of dissolved compounds, ions and nutrients that organisms can utilize for energy and, in the case of calcification, to build shells and outer structures.
Calcifying organisms in the ocean include molluscs, foraminifera, coccolithophores, crustaceans, echinoderms such as sea urchins, and corals.
The shells and skeletons produced from calcification have important functions for the physiology and ecology of the organisms that create them.
Ringiculidae
Ringiculidae are a family of minute deep water sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the informal group Lower Heterobranchia.

Lira (mollusc)
Lirae( singular lira) are fine lines or ridges( much finer than ribs) that are a sculptural feature of the outside of the shells of various animals.
The term is commonly applied to the shells of molluscs such as gastropods, bivalves and nautiloids.
It can also be used to describe similar sculpture on the surface of the shells of brachiopods.
In addition the word is used to describe fine linear elevations of shelly material within the outer lip of the aperture of some gastropod shells.
The adjectival form of the word is" lirate".

Timbales
Timbales or pailas are shallow single- headed drums with metal casing.
They are shallower than single- headed tom- toms, and usually tuned much higher, especially for their size.
The player( called a" timbalero") uses a variety of stick strokes, rim shots, and rolls to produce a wide range of percussive expression during solos and at transitional sections of music, and usually plays the shells of the drum or auxiliary percussion such as a cowbell or cymbal to keep time in other parts of the song.
The shells are referred to as" cáscara"( the Spanish word for" shell"), which is also the name of a rhythmic pattern common in salsa music that is played on the shells of the timbales.
The shells are usually made of metal, but some manufacturers offer shells of maple and other woods.
