Polyschides [Polyschides]

Description

Polyschides is a genus of scaphopod mollusks within the family Gadilidae, characterized by their unique shell morphology that includes a series of prominent ridges or folds. These adaptations may aid in anchoring the animal within soft sediments of their marine habitats. Polyschides species are detritivores, sifting through the sediment to feed on organic matter and microorganisms.
