This group seems to have appeared earliest in time of the vermetids, as early at least as Eocene time : for example—among others—S. morchi and 5. cancellatus Deshayes, 1861, from the lower and middle Eocene of Europe, and 5. chavani Harris & Palm

Some Upper Cretaceous forms have a pattern of coiling that seems Serptdorbis-like— as in 5. lamellosus (Stoliczka, 1868), from India—although the preservation is not complete enough to provide indisputable evidence that these are gastropods and not tubicolous Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original British Museum (Natural History).
