Conclusion: Cephalaspidea indet.
Reviewed by Codex identification research on Aug 27, 2026 · 90% reviewer confidence.
Reasoning recorded at review
- Small smooth shell-less slug with a broad cephalic shield
- No exposed dorid gill plume, rhinophores or aeolid cerata
- Pointed posterior body and weak lateral folds
- Translucent white body with small orange spots
Alternatives considered
- Siphopteron sp.
Why plausible: The compact shield, posterior taper and spotted pattern are compatible with a small gastropterid
Comparison: A dorsal video or sharp frame must expose the siphon, parapodia and flagellum
- Other cephalaspid family
Why plausible: The single oblique frame does not resolve the diagnostic headshield and parapodial boundaries
Comparison: Additional views or specimen anatomy are needed
Evidence limits & sources +−
- • Siphon, flagellum, parapodia and gill are not resolved
- • No internal or DNA evidence
