   Extractions: Bellerophontida The molluscs British spelling) or mollusks American spelling) are members of the very large and diverse phylum of invertebrate animals known as Mollusca . There are some 112,000 species within this phylum. The scientific study of molluscs is known as malacology Molluscs range from minute snails and clams ( micromollusks ) to large organisms such as squid cuttlefish and octopus , which are among the most neurologically-advanced invertebrates There are a wide variety of molluscs which are valued by humans as seafood or for their decorative shells . The edible species include many kinds of clams snails squid and octopuses The vast majority of molluscs live in marine environments, and many of them are found intertidally, in the shallow subtidal and on the continental shelf. Species of octopus and squid live throughout the ocean depths and some species of clam and limpet live in the abyssal depths of the oceans around hot vents. Not all molluscs are marine: two taxonomic groups or classes , the bivalves and the gastropods , also contain freshwater species. Only the gastropods have representatives that live on land: the land

3. The Mollusca
   mollusca is one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, with at least 50000 living species (and more likely around 200000).

   Extractions: Mollusca is one of the most diverse groups of animals on the planet, with at least 50,000 living species (and more likely around 200,000). It includes such familiar organisms as snails, octopuses, squid, clams, scallops, oysters, and chitons. Mollusca also includes some lesser known groups like the monoplacophorans , a group once thought to be extinct for millions of years until one was found in 1952 in the deep ocean off the coast of Costa Rica. Molluscs are a clade of organisms that all have soft bodies which typically have a "head" and a "foot" region. Often their bodies are covered by a hard exoskeleton, as in the shells of snails and clams or the plates of chitons. A part of almost every ecosystem in the world, molluscs are extremely important members of many ecological communities. They range in distribution from terrestrial mountain tops to the hot vents and cold seeps of the deep sea, and range in size from 20-meter-long giant squid to microscopic aplacophorans , a millimeter or less in length, that live between sand grains.

   Extractions: Tylodina fungina class Gastropoda, phylum Mollusca, modified from McFarland, 1966. The molluscs rival the arthropods in their diversity of body forms and sizes, as well as their ecological success. The phylum also provides some of the most familiar animals, such as snails clams mussels squids , and octopus (which, like the arthropods , are well known because they're good to eat). The phylum Mollusca also includes lesser known forms such as the chitons tusk shells, solenogasters , among others. Approximately 50,000 species of Molluscs have been described, and because of the shelled forms they have left a rich fossil record. However, the earliest molluscs probably arose in the Precambrian , and nothing is known about what they were like.

7. Mollusca
   The organisms in the phylum mollusca are characterized by having three main body areas a headfoot (sensory and locomotion structures), a visceral mass  
   http://www.esu.edu/~milewski/intro_biol_two/lab__11_mollusca/Mollusca.html
   
   Extractions: The molluscs are a large group, second only to arthropods in number of species. The name "mollusc" is derived from the Latin molluscus ("soft"), indicating that the molluscs are soft bodied animals. The group includes the snails, bivalves, chitons, squid, octopuses, and others. In some forms, the soft bodies are protected by a calcareous shell. The organisms in the phylum Mollusca are characterized by having three main body areas: a head-foot (sensory and locomotion structures), a visceral mass (excretory, digestive, and circulatory structures), and a mantle (which secretes the shell). The gills, which function in respiration, are located between the visceral mass and the mantle.

All of the Taxonomy in the Advanced Article is being updated for in regards to structure and picture content. Thank you for your patience Early Beginnings: The time is now about 600 million years ago and the first molluscs have made their appearance on our world. About 100 million years later, during the Ordovician period, at least six of the seven classes of molluscs represented today were present. Many of these first molluscs were but simple, worm-like animals, having segments similar to what we find in annelid worms and arthropods. These first molluscs crawled about the primeval seas, probing for and eating microscopic bits of food. The great landmass of Pangaea slowly deposits dissolved salts and other chemicals into the ocean. The first primitive molluscs in these oceans now digest these chemicals and begin to use the nutrients to build themselves protective shelters (shells) against their hostile environment. As Pangaea breaks apart around 200 million years ago, the world's great continents slowly migrate, due to plate tectonics, and we begin to recognize the world continents as they are today.

    http://www-biol.paisley.ac.uk/Courses/Tatner/biomedia/units/moll1.htm
    
    Extractions: Unit: Mollusca 1 Introduction The name Mollusca (from the Latin mollis meaning soft), was first used by the French zoologist Cuvier in 1798 to describe squids and cuttlefish , animals whose shell is reduced and internal, or entirely absent. It was only later that the true affinities between these species and other molluscs, such as snails and bivalves , were fully recognised. The molluscs are a very successful group. If success is measured in terms of number of species and variety of habitats to which they have become adapted, then molluscs are one of the three most successful groups in the animal kingdom. Over 160,000 species have been described, of which around 128,000 are living and about 35,000 are recorded as fossil species. Molluscs are found in nearly all habitats. In the sea they occur from the deepest ocean trenches to the intertidal* zone. They may be found in freshwater as well as on land where they occupy a wide range of habitats. Thus, during their evolution, they have become adapted to living in nearly all available habitats. The phylum Mollusca is normally divided into 8 classes of very unequal importance; the most important class of living molluscs is the

    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Smithsonian ... Science and Technology Selected Sources of Information on Mollusks Preface The study of mollusks has captured the interest of amateur and scientist alike for many centuries. The National Museum of Natural History receives numerous requests from the general public for information on mollusks. We hope that the information contained in our new on-line Selected Sources of Information on Mollusks will be of help to the beginning shell collector as well as the amateur conchologist and malacologist. This bibliography is not comprehensive and is meant to serve only as a guide to selected references. Selected Sources of Information on Mollusks has undergone a substantial change in format as well as a thorough revision to produce a more streamlined publication. To that end we have eliminated several sections and combined others to avoid redundancy in titles. The section listing shell clubs has been deleted because this information is best obtained by writing to one of the national malacological organizations which we are continuing to list or by checking the Internet. The publications listed may not be obtained from the Smithsonian Institution. Most of the references cited may be consulted at local libraries, requested through an interlibrary loan or purchased through local bookstores. Some books are out of print and would be available only from a secondhand book dealer.
