The Cerithiimorpha are a large assemblage of aquatic (both marine and freshwater) gastropods, combining the modern Cerithioidea, Campaniloidea and their fossil relatives. They have typically have turriform, often heavily sculptured shells with determinate growth, an anterior canal, and a spiral sculptured operculum (Simone 2011). The Late Palaeozoic Palaeostylidae may represent the stem group of the clade.
The Planaxidae, clusterwinks, are periwinkle-like amphibious marine snails with a conspicuous anterior canal on the shell (Wilson 1993). The Cerithiidae, creeper shells, have long, tapered, many-whorled shells with a horny operculum and lack epipodial tentacles on the body (Wilson 1993).
