It would seem so... mollusks have been found near deep sea vents as well as in high altitude mountain ponds (up to 10,000 feet above sea level).

Mollusks are a large group of invertebrate animals that include snails, slugs, clams, octopuses, and squid. They are characterized by soft bodies, often covered by a hard shell, and typically have a muscular foot for movement. Mollusks can be found in various habitats, both marine and terrestrial.
All mollusks exhibit bilateral symmetry, meaning their body can be divided into two mirror-image halves along one plane. While some mollusks, such as bivalves, have hinged shells, this trait is not universal among all mollusks. Radial symmetry and the ability to swim are also not characteristics found in all mollusks. Thus, bilateral symmetry is the defining feature present in all members of this diverse phylum.
Mollusks in Arizona are primarily found in aquatic environments, such as lakes, rivers, and wetlands. Species include freshwater snails and bivalves like clams, which inhabit areas with suitable water conditions. Additionally, terrestrial mollusks like land snails can be found in various habitats, including forests and grasslands, particularly in regions with adequate moisture. The diversity of mollusks reflects the state's varied ecosystems, from deserts to riparian zones.
The pelecypoda, also known as bivalve mollusks, have been around for over 500 million years and can still be found today in various aquatic environments worldwide. Their fossil record dates back to the early Paleozoic era.
Vertebral column is not present in all mollusks.
