Micropilina [Micropilina]

Description

Micropilina is a genus of monoplacophorans that are distinguished by their small size and the detailed structure of their shell and body. These marine organisms exhibit a simple, yet effective body plan with a single, convex shell and a series of repeated organs indicative of their ancestral lineage. Found in deep-sea environments, species within the Micropilina genus provide valuable insights into the early diversification and ecological adaptations of mollusks in marine ecosystems.
