Pleurotomaria: Pedigreed Perseverance?
Chapter
Abstract
Living pleurotomariids or slit shells provide a rare glimpse at the biology of remnants of a primitive and predominantly Paleozoic group of gastropods. Discovery of the first living pleurotomariid (Fischer and Bernardi 1856) generated considerable scientific excitement, in precisely the same pattern that later attended the discovery of Neopilina galatheae (Lemche 1957).
