Description
English: Oliva sayana Ravenel, 1834 - lettered olive snail shell from the Virgin Islands. (abapertural view)

The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.

Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neogastropoda, Olividae
