westcoast Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 So is somebody going to summarize the difference between vermetid gastropod and serpulid worm tubes....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pambosk Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 wow my eyes popped out Thanks for the info, Petaloconchus intortus : is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells. These snails usually grow cemented onto a hard surface, or cemented together in colonies. From the Moni formation, it is possible to have been a bit further.

I believe the answer is : The most obvious difference is that serpulid shells are dull inside, whereas the molluscan vermetid shells are shiny inside.

abyssunder Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 They could be very tricky. If your specimen has a 10cm width, the average diameter of the tubes (adult stage) is around 0.8cm, which I think could be loo large for serpulid worm tubes, so I'm inclined to believe they are worm snails (vermetids).
