QUOTE "Similarly like limpets, a strange mollusc called chiton lives at rocky sea shores, mostly at places which are exposed to considerable turbulence. It is not a snail - instead, it forms a group of its own within the Phylum Mollusca, called the Class of Polyplacophora. This strange animal has an armor-plated back as a protection against the sea or other dangers, which is formed by
eight flexibly jointed, shell-like plates, instead of just one shell."
