💻 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.

🏛️ For the analyses, specimens housed in Bavarian State Collections, Natural History Museum Vienna, Natural History Museum London (NHMUK) were used. Here, I am holding the type specimen of Pleurotomaria in NHMUK just before COVID lockdown. This genus gives its name to the group.
