Amalda Australis
''Amalda australis'', common name the southern olive, is a medium-sized sea snail, a gastropod mollusc of the family Ancillariidae.Sartori, A.; Rosenberg, G. (2014). Amalda australis (G.B. Sowerby I, 1830). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=409967 on 2014-01-30 These predatory snails live in the inter-tidal sand, an environment that lends itself to high probability of fossilization. ''Amalda australis'' fossils date back to the Pliocene and reveal morphological stasis.
