    Oxygyrus keraudreni (along with Atlanta peronii) attains the largest size (shell diameter to 10 mm) among the Atlantidae. Body coloration is light bluish-purple, with the color darkening with age. The larval shell is See more

    Overview image

    Oxygyrus keraudreni is a shallow-dwelling species that normally occurs in low abundances. In the Indian Ocean was Oxygyrus keraudreni found essentially limited to the upper 100 m of the water column, with 90% between 50 m and the surface. Similarly, … See more

    However, the relationship between Oxygyrus and B. minuta remains enigmatic [ 22 ], and here we consider B. minuta to belong within the family Atlantidae, having a shell morphology very similar to the extant genus Oxygyrus [ 22 ]. Indeed, the World Register of Marine Species places the genus Bellerophina within the Family Atlantidae.
    The family contains three genera ( Atlanta, Protatlanta and Oxygyrus) and is characterized by dextrally-coiled, aragonitic shells into which the soft body can fully retract, sealed by a chitinous operculum that is attached to the foot (Fig. 1 A, C).
    This species is 75 myr older than any other known atlantid, but resembles the extant Oxygyrus inflatus so strongly that Forbes (1844) erroneously considered the two species to be synonymous. However, the fossil record of O. inflatus is not known to extend beyond the Pliocene ( Janssen, 1998, 2007, 2012b ).
    Introduction Along with Atlanta peronii, Oxygyrus inflatusattains the largest shell size (diameter to 10 mm) in the family Atlantidae. The larval shell is calcareous and displays a distinctive pattern of evenly-spaced, zigzag-shaped spiral ridges oriented in the axis of shell growth and covering the shell surface.
