Gemmula
''Gemmula'', common name the gem turrids, is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae, the turrids. These snails have been recorded as fossils from the Paleocene to the Quaternary (from 66.043 to 0.012 Ma). Fossils have been found all over the world. 〔 (Paleobiology Database )〕 They are venomous with disulfide-rich polypeptides in their venom ducts. These bioactive peptides are likely to become a resource for novel pharmacologically active compounds 〔( Baldomero M. Olivera, David R. Hillyard and Maren Watkins, ''A new species of Gemmula, Weinkauff 1875; Evidence of two clades of Philippine species in the genus Gemmula'', Philippine Science letters, vol. 1 (1) )〕 ==Habitat and feeding habits== The snails in this genus occur mostly in deeper tropical waters at depths between 50 and 500m. Because of these deep habitats, little is known about their feeding habits.
