Abstract
Here, I present a review of the global pre-Pleistocene fresh- to brackish-water fossil record of the gastropod family Lymnaeidae based on a thorough literature survey of over 450 scientific works. I discuss the putative origin of the family, assess diversity development through geological time (based on the fossil records of Europe and North America), and illustrate the family’s geographic distribution over the past 200 Myr using paleogeographic maps. The following section deals with potential dispersal mechanisms to explain the family’s disjunct fossil distribution. A final part is devoted to peculiar cases of morphological evolution toward limpet-like and/or strongly sculptured shells.

Acknowledgments
I am grateful to Maxim Vinarski for the invitation to contribute to this book. Dániel Botka, Christine Garcia, Oleg Mandic, Alice Schumacher, and Maxim Vinarski kindly provided photographs. Heinz Kollmann, Simon Schneider, and Maxim Vinarski helped retrieving rare pieces of literature. Maxim Vinarski and Mathias Harzhauser provided helpful comments on an early draft of the manuscript. The study contributes to the project “Unraveling drivers of species diversification—an integrative deep-time approach on continental aquatic biota” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG grant no. NE 2268/2-1).

Number of species, species records, and literature sources of pre-Pleistocene Lymnaeidae compared across continents. The pie charts indicate the relative size of each continent. The uneven distribution of lymnaeids across continents as recorded in the literature suggests a major preservation, sampling, and/or research bias (ZIP 143 kb)
