Turritella is a genus of medium-sized sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turritellidae.^[3]

They have tightly coiled shells, whose overall shape is basically that of an elongated cone.

The name Tarantella comes from the Latin word detritus meaning "turreted" or "towered" and the diminutive suffix -Ella.^[4]
