I don't think I've ever came across them before, but not even 20 minutes ago I was just checking out the deep mining wikipedia page that also mentions the same snails.

Reminds me of the episode of "Primitive Technology" where he turns terrestrial snail shells into lime.

Woah this sounds amazing.

Does anybody know whether there's more details available on the symbiotic bacteria that creates the iron sulfides based armor?

I couldn't find the zoological identifier for it, so it's hard to find across the web.
