Planorbidae or Ram's horn snails, is a family of air-breathing freshwater snails with flat-coiled shells. Unlike most molluscs, the blood of ram's horn snails contains iron-based hemoglobin instead of copper-based hemocyanin (wikipedia).
The watersnail shells dung, shang ka shi la and 'gron bu as well as oystershells/mother of pearl (nya phyis) are classified as medicinal precious substances, the shells dung 'dra as medicinal stones and the mollusc 'bu skyogs (synonym dung 'dra) and na bun bu mo as medicinal animal.
