These four areas are separated by three phase transitions (the term introduced in the context of [[MORPHOSPACE|morphospaces]] by M. Paszkowski, 2003, personal communication): (a) from biserial to mixed forms; (b) from mixed to trochospiral forms; and (c) from trochospiral to uniserial forms. The first two (a & b) transitions are abrupt because the morphology rapidly changes its patterns. The last transition (c) is gradual from strictly trochospiral, through to coiled uniserial forms, to uniserial forms. It is important to note that shells with Δφ>117&deg for all ''i'' reveal a tendency towards development of an areal aperture, in contrast to the basal aperture generated at smaller  values (after [[Tyszka & Topa 2005|Topa & Tyszka, 2005]])
