Explanation:

operculum. a covering flap or lidlike structure in plants and animals, such as a gill cover.

The operculum or "lid" to a snails shell is usually made from a protein called conchiolin, which is similar to the keratin which makes up animal nails and horns, and (mostly) calcium carbonate, like their shell.
