Olividae

Gracilispira novaezelandiae, copyright Joop Trausel and Frans Slieker.

Belongs within: Muricoidea.
Contains: Oliva.

The Olividae, olives, are a family of burrowing, predatory gastropods found in warm waters, with a large and muscular head and foot. True olives of the subfamily Olivinae have highly glossy, solid shells with a cylindrical shape, low spire, and a long narrow aperture with several columellar plaits, and without an operculum. Members of the subfamily Ancillariinae have a thinner, less glossy shell, usually with a wider aperture and higher spire, and sometimes with a small operculum (Wilson & Gillett 1971). Vanpalmeria is a Palaeocene genus with a biconic shell covered by several layers of feltlike calcite.
