Gastropod

Sinezona plicata

• Group: Other
• Typical depth: 1–731 m

A minute slit shelled snail, it has been recorded across a wide depth band from a metre down to more than seven hundred metres in the Philippines. The notch in its shell vents water that has passed over the gills, a trait shared by its ancient lineage.
