Persististrombus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. [1]
Fossils of Persististrombus are found in marine strata from the Oligocene to the Quaternary (age range: from 28.4 to 0.0 million years ago.). Fossils are known from Europe, North and South America, Algeria, India, Indonesia, Libya, Somalia, Turkey and Iran. [2]
Species within the genus Persististrombus include:
Dolabella is a genus of sea slugs or sea hares, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Aplysiidae, the sea hares.
Strombus is a genus of medium to large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Strombidae, which comprises the true conchs and their immediate relatives. The genus Strombus was named by Swedish Naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Around 50 living species were recognized, which vary in size from fairly small to very large. Six species live in the greater Caribbean region, including the queen conch, Strombus gigas, and the West Indian fighting conch, Strombus pugilis. However, since 2006, many species have been assigned to discrete genera. These new genera are, however, not yet found in most textbooks and collector's guides.
Mercenaria is a genus of edible saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Veneridae, the Venus clams.
The Palaeonisciformes are an extinct order of early ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) which began in the Late Silurian and ended in the Late Cretaceous. The name of the order is derived from the Greek words paleo (ancient) and ὀνίσκος, probably pertaining to the organization of the fishes' scales, similar to the exoskeletal plating of woodlice.
Coelopleurus is an extant genus of echinoids with fossil records dating back to the Eocene, with remains found in Europe and North America.
Discinisca is a genus of brachiopods with fossils dating back from the Early Devonian to the Pliocene of Africa, Europe, North America, and New Zealand.
Tectonatica is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Pecten is a genus of large scallops or saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Pectinidae, the scallops. This is the type genus of the family.
Hexaplex is a genus of medium-sized to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily muracinae of the family Muricidae, the murex shells or rock snails.
Phymorhynchus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Hindsiclava is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae,
Knefastia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
Potamides is a genus of prehistoric sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Potamididae.
Galeodea is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Cassinae of the family Cassidae.
Persististrombus coronatus is an extinct species of fossil true conch from the Late Miocene to Pliocene.
Propeamussium is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks in the order Ostreoida.
Gigantopecten is a genus of fossil scallops, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Pectinidae, the scallops.
Lucina is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs.
Persististrombus nodosus is an extinct species of fossil sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the conchs.
Persististrombus radix is an extinct species of fossil sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the conchs.
