Pelagiellidae
Introduction '''Pelagiellidae''' is an extinct family of Paleozoic fossil 'snails'. Some material assigned to this taxon represents gastropod molluscs, but some chaeta-bearing specimens first assigned to ''Pelagiella'' (now ''Pseudopelagiella'') are perhaps better interpreted as tube-bearing annelid worms.
