Abstract
Magadina cumingi inhabits an environment of high current energy and mobile sediments by using its pedicle in Pogo-stick fashion as an elevating device. This type of progression is associated with pedicle musculature different from that of attached and other free-lying forms, and some diagnostic differences in muscle attachment areas are evident in preservable hard parts.Keywords
