Aydin,
Best guesses:
T. = testa, "shell, test"
d. = dens (genitive dentis), "tooth"

Subject: Latin abbreviations
I would appreciate it very much if someone told me what all the
abbreviations in the following text (from a 1897 paper by Westerlund) stood
for. I suspect "anfr." is for "whorls", "perist." is "peristome" & "ap." is
"aperture", but what are "T." & "d." & the rest?
"T. oblongo-conica, leviss. striatula, corneo-fusca; anfr. 7, regulares,
ult. basi turgidus; ap. 2-dentata: d. l par. compresso sat valido et d. l
marg. tuberclif., tuberculo ang. nullo, perist. alboincrassato, vix
expansiusculo."
Many thanks.
Aydin
