I skimmed the wikipedia article but didn’t see anything. Do radulae get fossilized? If so, were there any megamollusks exhibiting large radulae (from back before color TV) that we’ve dug out of rocks?
I’m assuming it’ll be on some squid species.
This isn’t keeping anyone else awake at night? 
Is this some sort of bust?
bust = joke? No.
bust = crappy OP that no one responds to? Looks like it.
I was thinking about snails. Snails have radulae. Then I wondered how big they could get. Apparently no one else wonders about these things 
The Ormer possibly.
A delicacy in the Channel Islands
Mmm… gastropods have radulae. That includes snails, slugs, conchs, tritons, and a wide assortment of single-shelled marine life.
I’m not sure if the other classes of molluscs have radulae. I’m almost certain that cephalopods don’t, and nearly as certain that pelecypods don’t. Scaphopods? Monoplacophores? Polyplacophores? Dunno.
Although I had this vision of snails in the locker room, their shells hung up on hooks, sneaking peeks with their eyes on stalks as to who has the biggest radula…
In general I suspect some squid or octopus somewhere is the champ.
However my favorite is the Lewis’ Moon Snail. Given that it is a predator that bores holes in its victims and that it the largest species of such, it might at least be in the running among the shelled gastropods.
All but the bivalves, apparently ( yeah, I had to look it up - it’s been about a billion years since I took Marine Invertebrate Zoology 
).
A Giraffe’s tongue is eightteen inches long and prehensile…oh, you meant mollusks.
Yes, it’s very impressive, but we’re talking about snail tongues now.
I have no idea but I’ll use this thread as an excuse to post a picture of the geoduck.
I picked one of those up while kayaking in shallow water. I wondered how it would taste.
:eek:
How does it fit all that back in it’s pa…er…shell? Or does it just always let it hang out in the current?
But no radula on that guy.
They’re edible, but I have no idea how they taste and a quick tour through google hasn’t enlightened me further. Do try it next time you acquire one ( legally, of course ) and let us know :).
Look ashamed.
