Costentalina is a genus of medium-sized tusk shells, marine scaphopod molluscs in the family Entalinidae. [1]
The tusk shells or tooth shells, technically the Scaphopoda, are members of a class of shelled marine mollusc with worldwide distribution, and are the only class of exclusively infaunal marine molluscs. Shells of species within this class range from about 0.5 to 18 cm in length. Members of the order Dentaliida tend to be larger than those of the order Gadilida.
