Graptacme [Graptacme]

Description

Graptacme is a lesser-known genus of scaphopods, characterized by small, delicate shells that are often translucent. These tusk shells have a unique surface texture, with fine striations or grooves running lengthwise. Graptacme species are typically found in deeper marine environments, where they burrow into soft sediments to feed on microscopic detritus and plankton.
