1871 Lancet i. 49 On Dextral Pre-eminence by William Ogle M.D.

1904 Westm. Gaz. 6 Aug. 11/3 As if fate had chosen to make it a dextral child.

1927 Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. 38 327 People fall into four groups, pure or crossed dextrals, and pure or crossed sinistrals... In the pure dextral there is right-handedness and a dominant right eye.

1964 M. Critchley Developmental Dyslexia viii. 54 A fair number of dyslexics are unequivocal dextrals with no family history of left-handedness or ambidexterity.

2. Conchology. Of a gastropod shell: Having the spire or whorl ascending from left to right (i.e. of the external spectator), which is the prevalent form.

ΚΠ

1847 J. Craig New Universal Dict. (at cited word) A dextral shell, as in mostly all univalves, has its turns or convolutions from left to right when placed in a perpendicular position.

1851 T. Wright & G. F. Richardson Introd. Geol. (new ed.) viii. 241 In the first instance the shell is termed dextral; in the latter it is called sinistral or reversed.

1851 S. P. Woodward Man. Mollusca i. 46 Left-handed, or reversed varieties of spiral shells have been met with in some of the very common species, like the whelk and garden-snail. Bulimus citrinus is as often sinistral as dextral.

1866 R. Tate Plain & Easy Acct. Mollusks Great Brit. iii. 45 When the aperture of the shell is on the right-hand side it is said to be dextral.

Geology. Designating a strike-slip fault in which the displacement of the block on the further side of the fault from an observer is towards the right; of or relating to such a fault. Contrasted with sinistral.

1942 E. M. Anderson Dynamics of Faulting & Dyke Formation v. 55 E. E. L. Dixon has distinguished the types of displacement as right-hand and left-hand heaves... The two classes of fault-planes may well be termed ‘dextral’ and ‘sinistral’.
