Rokopella [Rokopella]

Description

Rokopella is a genus within the Monoplacophoridae family, known for its members' unique shell shape and the insight they offer into the ancient and simplistic design of early mollusks. Rokopella species possess a single, curved shell, housing a body with multiple gills and a simple nervous system, reflecting a primitive molluscan structure. Their existence in deep-sea habitats further emphasizes the adaptability and evolutionary persistence of monoplacophorans.
