Monoplacophora Superclass of molluscs

Monoplacophora, meaning "bearing one plate", is a polyphyletic superclass of molluscs with a cap-like shell now living at the bottom of the deep sea. Extant representatives were not recognized as such until 1952; previously they were known only from the fossil record, and were previously thought to have become extinct over 380 million years ago.
