Sundial Shells [Archaeogastropoda]

Description

Archaeogastropoda, commonly known as sundial shells, are not a genus within Turbinidae but rather an obsolete classification that once included various turban snails. Modern classifications have revised this group; the name persists in common usage for snails with sun-like patterns on their shells.
