Multiplacophora
Extinct order of molluscs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multiplacophora is a stem-group of chitons with a number of plates arranged in 7 rows along the body.[2] They date to at least the Upper Cambrian, but two lower Cambrian fossils- Ocruranus and Trachyplax - may extend the range downwards.[3]
