Kapal is a monotypic genus of shelled octopods comprising the species Kapal batavus. The

K. batavus was described in 1930 based on fossil material from Lower Palembang shales of Sumatra. Palembang is a city of 1286000 in the south of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Sumatra (also spelled Sumatera) is the sixth largest island in the world (approximately 470000 km² and is the largest island entirely in Indonesia (two The eggcase of this species is considerably more evolute than that of Argonauta, possessing an open umbilical region, and seems to lack the nodes present in members of that genus. The argonauts ( Genus Argonauta, the only extant genus in the Argonautidae family are a group of Pelagic Octopuses The umbilicus of a shell is the axially aligned hollow cone-shaped space within the whorls of a coiled Mollusk shell [1]
