Hancockia [Hancockia]

Description

Hancockia is a genus of scaphopod mollusks in the family Gadilidae, differing from others in its relatively short and stout shell structure. The genus is adapted to a variety of marine environments, where its members burrow into the sea floor to capture microorganisms and organic particles. The distinctive shell shape of Hancockia species helps in distinguishing them from other scaphopods.
