The largest, and heaviest, gastropod is called Syrinx aruanus. Also known as Australian Trumpet.
It can grow op to 91cm and weigh up to 18kg. We know very little about the species because we haven't studied them properly because of their rarity due to over-fishing in the past.

Where are Fossiliferous grosopod found?
Fossiliferous gastropods are found in a variety of locations around the world, including sedimentary rocks, marine deposits, and fossil beds. Some common sites where fossiliferous gastropods are found include limestone formations, shale layers, and ancient sea floors. These fossils offer valuable insights into the evolution and diversity of gastropods over millions of years.
Do gastropods have predators?
Gastropods (literally stomach foot), or slugs and snails, are eaten by such creatures as thrushes (which smash them onto rocks). Frogs are one of the main predators for slugs and snails, but beetles, hedgehogs and shrews will all eat them - to name just a few.
What do you think the age of the Gastropod and Ammonite would be in relation to the Trilobite?
Gastropods and ammonites appeared after trilobites, which thrived during the Paleozoic Era, particularly in the Cambrian to the Permian periods. Trilobites existed roughly from 521 to 252 million years ago, while gastropods first appeared in the late Cambrian and became more prominent in the Mesozoic Era. Ammonites emerged later, around 400 million years ago, and flourished during the Mesozoic, particularly in the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Thus, both gastropods and ammonites are younger than trilobites.
Is a gastropod a carnivore?
Some gastropods are carnivores, while others are herbivores or omnivores. The diet of a gastropod largely depends on the species and its habitat.
How does gastropods function in an ecosystem?
Marine gastropods include some that are herbivores, detritus feeders, predatory carnivores, scavengers, parasites, and also a few ciliary feeders, in which the radula is reduced or absent. In some species which have evolved into endoparasites, such as Parenteroxenos doglieli, many of the standard gastropod features are strongly reduced or absent. A few sea slugs are herbivores and some are carnivores. Many have distinct dietary preferences and regularly occur in close association with their food species. Some predatory carnivorous gastropods include, for example: Cone shells, Testacella, Daudebardia, Ghost slug and others.
