Cobcrephora Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Polyplacophora Genus: Cobcrephora Cobcrephora is a genus of chiton known from the Silurian of Gotland.[1]
Its mollusc shell is unique, because Cobcrephora was described on the basis of isolated phosphatic sclerites.[2] Its overlapping sclerites are arched and small, comprise two shell layers, and have lamellar projections.[1]
