Here is a Euxina circumdata before...
and after it was decollated experimentally.
I wanted to know if the loss of a few whorls from the apex would let the snail lift its shell up during crawling. But, no, the decollated snail still dragged its shell.
There must be some other reason why some species decollate their shells.
