...Although many species live for a relatively long period of time, their flashy and varied morphology makes them a useful taxonomic group for comparing regions, estimating Mesozoic biogeographical regions and paleoenvironments, and considering the functional significance of surface sculpture. In the Cenozoic era, they rapidly declined, and only a few species of the Tertiary Eotrigonia and the modern Neotrigonia are known in Australia, and they are considered examples of "living fossils."

…種の生存期間はやや長いものが多いが,形態が派手で変化に富むため,地域内での対比や中生代の生物地理区・古環境の推定,表面彫刻の機能的意味を考察するうえに有効な分類群である。新生代に入ると急速に衰退して,わずかにオーストラリアに第三紀のエオトリゴニアEotrigonia,現生のシンサンカクガイ(ネオトリゴニアNeotrigonia)数種のみが知られ,“生きている化石”の一例とされている。【速水 格】。… ※「エオトリゴニア」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
