Dischides [Dischides]

Description

Dischides is a genus of scaphopod mollusks in the family Gadilidae, recognized for its distinctive shell morphology. The shells are generally short and have a bulbous shape, differing significantly from the more common tusk-like appearance of many scaphopods. This genus inhabits marine environments where they burrow into soft substrates, consuming microorganisms and detritus filtered from the sediment.
