ACMAEIDAE, PATELLIDAE, FISSURELLIDAE (Limpets & Keyhole Limpets)
SIPHONARIIDAE (False Limpets)
An unusual family - they are common and easy to collect living on rocks on the shoreline. It may be because they are so common that these shells are not very popular amongst collectors. South Africa has some large interesting species.
The False Limpets are Pulmonates, that is, they are air breathing and can not live under water.
