Mollusca: Chitons, snails, bivalves, cephalopods Earliest mollusc, from the Burgess shale, dating to 560 mya, just before the Cambrian Radiation. It is a soft-bodied mollusc

Mollusca: Chitons, snails, bivalves, cephalopods The ancestral state is segmentation as in the chitons. In the rest of the group there is reduction of sementation.
