Other mollusc research

  • Qiang et al. (2023) describe new fossil material of Anabarella plana from the Cambrian Yanjiahe Formation (China), and consider A. plana to be the only member of the genus Anabarella definitely present in South China.[21]

General research

  • Slater (2023) describes microscopic molluscan radulae from the Cambrian (Wuliuan) Borgholm Formation (Sweden), similar to the radulae of extant gastropods specialized for piercing and sucking the tissues of green algae, and interpret this finding as indicating that this form of herbivory was already present among Cambrian molluscs.[22]
  • A diverse molluscan assemblage dominated by turritellid gastropods from Kachchh (India), originally interpreted as Late Jurassic in age, is reinterpreted as more likely Miocene in age by Fürsich et al. (2023).[23]
