Amalda australis, common name the southern olive, is a medium-sized sea snail, a gastropod mollusc of the family Ancillariidae.[1] These predatory snails live in the inter-tidal sand,[2] an environment that lends itself to high probability of fossilization.[3] Amalda australis fossils date back to the Pliocene and reveal morphological stasis.[4]
Distribution

This marine species is endemic to New Zealand.[2]
