Seraphsidae is a family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Stromboidea.[2][3] Only one genus, Terebellum, is alive today, but several fossil genera are known, with the earliest records of the family dating back to the Danian age of the Paleocene.[4] Seraphsids are adapted for a burrowing life, with a streamlined shell.[5][6] Terebellum and its fossil relatives were originally classified as members of the closely related family Strombidae. When they were recognized as a separate family, the family was initially called Terebellidae, but as the name was already in use for a family of polychaete worms, the name Seraphsidae was proposed as a replacement, derived from the fossil genus Seraphs.[6]
