Distorsio [Distorsio]

Distorsio is a genus of sea snails that have uniquely twisted, asymmetrical shells. These snails are mainly found in tropical and subtropical seas. The shell's distortion is an adaptation that aids in burrowing into sandy or muddy substrates where these snails live and feed on various invertebrates.
