Cadenella [Cadenella]

Description

Cadenella is a genus within the family Dentaliidae, notable for its slender and slightly curved tusk shells. These marine mollusks exhibit a unique shell morphology with fine longitudinal striations. Inhabitants of sandy and muddy substrates, Cadenella species are adept at burrowing and are found in a range of depths, from shallow waters to the deeper continental shelf regions. They play a role in the benthic ecosystem as detritivores, contributing to the breakdown and recycling of organic materials.
