Chitons
Chitons () are marine molluscs of varying size in the class Polyplacophora (), formerly known as Amphineura. About 940 extant and 430 fossil species are recognized. They are also sometimes known as gumboots or sea cradles or coat-of-mail shells or suck-rocks, or more formally as loricates, polyplacophorans, and occasionally as polyplacophores. Chitons have a shell composed of eight separate shell plates or valves. These plates overlap slightly at the front and back edges, and yet articulate well with one another. Because of this, the shell provides protection at the same time as permitting the chiton to flex upward when needed for locomotion over uneven surfaces, and even allows the animal to curl up into a ball when dislodged from rocks. The shell plates are encircled by a skirt known as a girdle. Habitat Chitons live worldwide, from cold waters through to the tropics. They live on hard surfaces, such as on or under rocks, or in rock crevices. Some species live quite high ...

Acanthochitonidae
Acanthochitonidae is a family of chitons, marine molluscs in the class Polyplacophora. Description These small to large chitons are characterised by a broad girdle with erect tufts of up to ten large bristles. The coarsely granular valves of the shell are partially overlapped by the girdle. This girdle is all covered by coarse spines. The articulating flange, or ''articulamentum'', is well developed. The margin of the cephalic plate has about five slits. The lateral'' insertion plates'' all have a single notch. Genera According to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) the following genera are included in this family * Acanthochitona Gray, 1821 * Amycula * Bassethullia Pilsbry, 1928 * Choneplax Carpenter MS, Dall, 1882 * Craspedochiton Shuttleworth, 1853 * Craspedoplax Iredale & Hull, 1925 * Cryptoconchus de Blainville MS, Burrow, 1815 * Leptoplax Carpenter MS, Dall, 1882 * Notoplax ''Notoplax'' is a genus of chitons in the family Acanthochitonidae.Bouchet, P. ...
