Evolution of some morphological features in Pliocene viviparids

The problem of rib development is discussed from analytical point of view, but also by Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The geometry of the shells was reconstructed from the transverse sections of the shells. Finite element model were placed in the simulation interaction with the environment, or respectively with potential loads caused by the attackers on these gastropods.
