8 I.Mollusca D. D.Polyplacophora (Chitons) Mostly graze algae on rocky shorelines Occupy home scar when not foraging E. E.Scaphopoda (Tooth shells) Predators on foraminifera and juvenile bivalves Most common in deep water F. F.Monoplacophora Rediscovered in 1952 Some repeated organs (segmentation?) Possible indication of relationship to Annelida
