Definition of umbilicate in English: umbilicateadjective ʌmˈbɪlɪkət Zoology Botany 1(especially of the cap of a fungus) having a central depression. - 1.1 (of a shell) having an umbilicus.
Example sentencesExamples - Almost no widely umbilicate species existed, and only three morphs (E-, H-, and I-morphs) occupied a comparatively small area of the morphospace.
- If the umbilicate side is directed downward and the flat side upward, this gives the impression the shell is sinistral or a left-handed spiral, because the aperture when held toward the observer is on the left.
- Modal geometries C and D appear to represent the tendency for these pioneers, i.e., slowly expanding, moderately to openly umbilicate, compressed shells, typified by Otoceras and Ophiceras.
- These four morphs represent a more or less continuous morphological series from widely umbilicate conch shapes with low aperture to conch geometries with a narrow umbilicus and high aperture.
- The dominant taxa at that time (modal geometries C and D) had compressed, moderately to openly umbilicate shells with slowly expanding whorls, morphologies poorly exploited by Permian goniatitids.
- By contrast, a narrowly umbilicate and thin shell possesses slender and dense ornamentation.
