A stylized dorsal view of a chiton shows eight overlapping calcareous shell plates (valves) set in a surrounding girdle, characteristic of Class Polyplacophora within Phylum Mollusca. In invertebrate anatomy and malacology, this anatomical structure constitutes the protective dorsal exoskeleton of the organism while allowing flexion and adhesion to substrates during locomotion. The illustration represents a marine invertebrate organism (chiton), highlighting hierarchical levels from valves (skeletal elements) to the whole animal within the molluscan body plan.
