Fedaiella

Fedaiella

A ball in the waves

These spherical snails could grow to a considerable size and were able to remain stable on powerful waves thanks to their smooth surface. We can imagine these molluscs were brightly coloured, as a few specimens reveal traces of colour, even if we do not know yet which colour they were.
