Amphigastropoda


Steinkern of Pelagiella, from Landing et al. (2002).


Belongs within: Helcionelliformes.
Contains: Bellerophontidae.

The name 'Amphigastropoda' has been used for an assemblage of planispiral or cap-shaped, mostly Palaeozoic molluscs. Primarily centered around the Bellerophontoidea, other groups that have been included in the Amphigastropoda by various authors include the Pelagielliformes, Cyrtolitidae and Tryblidiidae. The grouping was originally proposed on the basis that these animals were gastropod-like but untorted; however, studies of muscle scars the genus Bellerophon itself indicate that it, at least, underwent torsion, and the Amphigastropoda in the broad sense is probably a polyphyletic assemblage (Peel 1972).
