Most gastropod species, and especially the marine species, have a dextral shell. The genus Scaevatula represents an exception to this rule, as the species are sinister. Within the family Clavatulidae, the extinct species Clavatula aralica (Luković, 1924) is the only other exception.[3]
Species
Species within the genus Scaevatula include:
- Scaevatula amancioi Rolan & Fernandes, 1992
- Scaevatula pellisserpentis Gofas, 1990
gollark: I'm pretty sure I can easily construct models without that sort of thing.
gollark: While anything with momentum technically has a frequency, it's too ridiculously tiny to be relevant in most situations.
gollark: As planned.
gollark: Telling people that they should support some sort of equality thing because, in a thought experiment, they would be randomly assigned whatever attributes, does not seem like it would work.
gollark: Given that people already exist who are *not* in some randomly assigned position, I don't see how you can use the veil of ignorance thing for much beyond just evaluating some details about how good a society is.
