First Paleocene Lepidozona (Mollusca: Polyplacophora: Chitonida) From Ukraine
A new species Lepidozona luzanovkensis sp. nov. from Paleocene deposits of Ukraine is described. This find is much earlier than the known finds from the late Eocene or Early Oligocene, which increases the age of the genus Lepidozona Pilsbry, 1892 by several million years.

ABSTRACT The formation of the sclerites (spicules and scales) in the girdles of five species of polyplacophorans of the order Chitonida (Acanthochitona fascicularis, Acanthochitona crinita, Lepidochitona cinerea, Ischnochiton rissoi and Rhyssoplax olivacea) has been studied at the ultrastructural level and by optical and transmission ...

Phylogenetic Systematics of the Superfamily Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora: Chitonida)
Chitons (class Polyplacophora) represent an early-diverging molluscan lineage, with approximately 1,090 currently recognized living species. Their basic body plan, with eight dorsal shell plates surrounded by a fleshy girdle, has remained largely unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.
