Anomphalus rotulus

Anomphalus It is an extinct genus of sea ​​snails. It was a epifaunal herbivore (benthic fauna, that is, the set of marine animals that live on the seabed) subtidal (The sector of the seabed that extends from the low tide line to the continental shelf is always covered with water, which differentiates it from the intertidal zone that is exposed at low tide. Its extension varies depending on the geographical area, but on average it extends 150 km seaward from the coastline and reaches a depth of 150 meters. In this area of ​​the ocean there are very suitable circumstances for the development of different forms of life, since its waters are usually warm, rich in oxygen and nutrients.​
