Fasciole

A fasciole in mollusks refers to a band or ribbon-like structure that is often seen as a flattened, slightly depressed area on the shell, formed by the successive growth lines on the edges of a canal. It is typically found on the surface of the shell near the siphonal canal or around the aperture. The fasciole can play a role in the shell's overall structure and appearance. In some species, it might help in identifying the shell or understanding its functional morphology.
