What's the difference between conchoid and conchoidal?

Conchoid


Definition:

  • (n.) A curve, of the fourth degree, first made use of by the Greek geometer, Nicomedes, who invented it for the purpose of trisecting an angle and duplicating the cube.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Those differences can be summarized as follows: (1) the occurrence of pronounced, highly curved hackle marks, which could in many instances be mistaken for conchoidal marks;(2)the appearance of the beveled edges bordering the cratering on the side opposite origin of force; and (3) a more apparent tendency toward an inverse relationship of muzzle velocity and energy to radial fracture length and degree of curving along crater boundaries.
  • (2) These figures were assumed to be the very early stage of formation of conchoidal bodies at the LM level, so-called Schaumann bodies.
  • (3) Their similitude with other reported intracellular calcareous bodies occurring in malakoplakia, infectious orchitis (Michaelis-Guttman' bodies or calcosphaerites), in beryllium granulomas (conchoid bodies) and sarcoidosis (Schaumann bodies) is discussed.
  • (4) Sclerotic granulomas with giant cells, conchoidal bodies, iron deposition in the pulmonary stroma--all these lung alterations allowed one to establish a diagnosis of lung berylliosis.
  • (5) Several patterns of calcification were noted including bubbly, plate-like, elongate, and conchoidal forms.
  • (6) Lung biopsies in the index cases revealed an interstitial infiltration of inflammatory cells and aggregates of conchoid bodies surrounded by multinucleated giant cells.

Conchoidal


Definition:

  • (a.) Having elevations or depressions in form like one half of a bivalve shell; -- applied principally to a surface produced by fracture.
