Turbinelloidea

Vasum ceramicum, photographed by Frédéric Ducarme.

Belongs within: Neogastropoda.
Contains: Volutomitridae, Columbariidae, Ptychatractidae, Costellariidae.

The Turbinelloidea are a clade of neogastropods supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis. The Turbinellidae, chank and vase shells, are generally large gastropods with a thick, spindle-shaped shell (the largest known gastropod, Syrinx aruanus, belongs to this family). They possess a long, thin proboscis that folds into a non-evaginable proboscis sheath (Harasewych & Petit 1989).
