Description

(Original description in Latin) The shell is ovate and somewhat depressed. Its spire is small, scarcely elevated, and narrowly and deeply umbilicate. It has 2½ convex whorls, which are neatly decussated (crossed) with elevated radial and concentric striae. The aperture is oblique and sub-orbicular.

The ovate shell is rather depressed. The small spire is scarcely elevated and narrowly, profoundly umbilicate. The 2½ convex whorls are decussated by elevated radiating and concentric striae. The oblique aperture is suborbicular.

Distribution

This marine species occurs off Japan.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Anatoma concinna” as species of gastropod. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Anatoma, concinna and species.

Editorial reviewUseful for establishing the present vocabulary of the subject while preserving a route back to the evidence on which that vocabulary rests. The current 104-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Anatoma, concinna and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Anatoma concinna”, the useful work is to connect “species of gastropod” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13370641. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
