Cancellaria coctilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cancellariidae.[1] Cancellaria coctilis was described by Reeves in 1856.
Cancellaria coctilis has a mineralized skeleton made primarily of calcium carbonate, which mechanizes the snail. This type of snail is found mostly in seafloor environments.[2]
