The Scaphopoda
Scaphopoda is a class of marine mollusks commonly known as tusk shells. Members of this group live buried in sandy or muddy seabeds and have long, curved, tube-like shells that resemble miniature elephant tusks.
The name Scaphopoda comes from Greek words meaning “boat foot.” These marine animals belong to the phylum Mollusca and are closely related to clams, snails, and octopuses. Their distinctive shells are open at both ends, allowing water to flow through while the animal remains buried beneath the seabed.
