Emarginula [Emarginula]

Description

Emarginula is a genus of keyhole limpets known for their distinctive slit or hole at the apex of their shell. They are small to medium-sized marine gastropods that inhabit rocky substrates in various depths of the ocean. Their shells are generally conical and can range from smooth to highly sculptured surfaces. This genus is characterized by its adaptation to clinging onto hard surfaces in intertidal zones and its ability to graze on algae and biofilms.
