🐚 Pleurotomariida is an "ancient" group that were one of the most diverse and abundant gastropod groups in the Paleozoic shallow seas. Today they live in deep water and represented by 44 species that enjoy feeding on sponges like in this picture.
💻 We reconstructed the phylogeny of Pleurotomariida using 93 shell characters and analysing 109 species ranging from the Ordovician to Recent with the Bayesian Fossilised Birth-Death Model and Parsimony analysis.
