What Is Coiling in Gastropods?

Coiling in its simplest form is planispiral, where the shell + visceral mass ensemble coils around a point. The most frequent form of coiling in gastropods, however, is helicoidal, with asymmetrical coiling of the shell around a line producing a skewed turbinate coil.
Why are gastropods coiled?
Tight coiling with whorl overlap is the most frequent mode of shell coil- ing in gastropods. A new model of shell growth, the "head-foot guidance model", implies that the contact of the head-foot mass with the mantle edge plays the main role in producing tight coiling.
