Neritidae

Neritoplica trochispira, from Bandel & Kiel (2003).

Belongs within: Neritoidea.
Contains: Smaragdia, Nerita.

The Neritidae are marine gastropods characterised by a shell with dissolved inner whorls and radula with large, smooth, mineralised lateral teeth with a cutting and scraping edge (Bandel 2001). The Eocene Velates were limpet-like neritids with the base of the shell formed by the callus of the inner lip (Bandel 2001).
