Resumo: 	Several gastropods, including members of the  Busyconinae, wedge or chip bivalve prey by inserting the  outer lip between the valves. This habit, which is associated  with an abapically downwardly convex outer lip, often results  in breakage and subsequent repair of the lip. I tested the  hypothesis that convex-lipped clavilithines from the Eocene  of France and the Neogene of Indonesia had higher frequencies  of repair than their straight-lipped counterparts. Although  this prediction was verified, frequencies of repair are low (0  to 0.19) compared to those of busyconines, indicating either  that prey bivalves were small or that the predators are smaller  than most busyconines.
