Gastropoda (Gastropods)
The class
Gastropoda
or
gastropods
(also previously known as
univalves
and sometimes also spelled Gasteropoda) form a major part of the phylum Mollusca. Gastropods are more commonly known as
snails and slugs
.
This is the most diversified class in the phylum, with 60,000 to 80,000 living species.
There are 409 recent families of gastropods. Fossil gastropods represent another 202 families. This class of animals is second only to insects in its number of known species.
The
Gastropoda
or
gastropods
, more commonly known as
snails and slugs
, are a large taxonomic class within the phylum Mollusca. The class Gastropoda includes snails and slugs of all kinds and all sizes from microscopic to large. There are many thousands of species of sea snails and sea slugs, as well as freshwater snails, freshwater limpets, land snails and land slugs.
The class Gastropoda contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. The fossil history of this class goes back to the Late Cambrian. There are 611 families of gastropods, of which 202 families are extinct and appear only in the fossil record.
The first gastropods were exclusively marine, with the earliest representatives of the group appearing in the Late Cambrian (
Chippewaella
,
Strepsodiscus
). Early Cambrian forms like
Helcionella
and
Scenella
are no longer considered gastropods, and the tiny coiled
Aldanella
of earliest Cambrian time is probably not even a mollusk. By the Ordovician period the gastropods were a varied group present in a range of aquatic habitats. Commonly, fossil gastropods from the rocks of the early Palaeozoic era are too poorly preserved for accurate identification. Still, the Silurian genus
Poleumita
contains fifteen identified species. Fossil gastropods were less common during the Palaeozoic era than bivalves.
Most of the gastropods of the Palaeozoic era belong to primitive groups, a few of which still survive. By the Carboniferous period many of the shapes seen in living gastropods can be matched in the fossil record, but despite these similarities in appearance the majority of these older forms are not directly related to living forms. It was during the Mesozoic era that the ancestors of many of the living gastropods evolved.
In rocks of the Mesozoic era, gastropods are slightly more common as fossils, their shells are often well preserved. Their fossils occur in ancient beds deposited in both freshwater and marine environments.
Rocks of the Cenozoic era yield very large numbers of gastropod fossils, many of these fossils being closely related to modern living forms. The diversity of the gastropods increased markedly at the beginning of this era, along with that of the bivalves.
Certain trail-like markings preserved in ancient sedimentary rocks are thought to have been made by gastropods crawling over the soft mud and sand. Although these trails are of debatable origin, some of them do resemble the trails made by living gastropods today.
