Anabarella

Anabarella is a species of bilaterally-flattened monoplacophoran mollusc, with a morphological similarity to the rostroconchs.

See Fordilloidea and Anabarella

Bivalvia

Bivalvia, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts.

See Fordilloidea and Bivalvia

Cambrian

The Cambrian is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.

See Fordilloidea and Cambrian

Camya

Camya is an extinct genus of early bivalve and is the only genus in the extinct family Camyidae.

See Fordilloidea and Camya

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Fordilloidea and Extinction

Fordilla

Fordilla is an extinct genus of early bivalves, one of two genera in the extinct family Fordillidae.

See Fordilloidea and Fordilla

Fordillidae

Fordillidae is an extinct family of early bivalves and one of two families in the extinct superfamily Fordilloidea.

See Fordilloidea and Fordillidae

Malacologia

Malacologia is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of malacology, the study of mollusks.

See Fordilloidea and Malacologia

Mollusca

Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals, after Arthropoda; members are known as molluscs or mollusks.

See Fordilloidea and Mollusca

Nacre

Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is an organicinorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer.

See Fordilloidea and Nacre

Pojetaia

Pojetaia is an extinct genus of early bivalves, one of two genera in the extinct family Fordillidae.

See Fordilloidea and Pojetaia

Small shelly fauna

The small shelly fauna, small shelly fossils (SSF), or early skeletal fossils (ESF) are mineralized fossils, many only a few millimetres long, with a nearly continuous record from the latest stages of the Ediacaran to the end of the Early Cambrian Period.

See Fordilloidea and Small shelly fauna

Taxonomic rank

In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.

See Fordilloidea and Taxonomic rank

Tuarangia

Tuarangia is a Cambrian shelly fossil interpreted as an early bivalve, though alternative classifications have been proposed and its systematic position remains controversial. Fordilloidea and Tuarangia are Prehistoric bivalves.

See Fordilloidea and Tuarangia

Valve (mollusc)

A valve is each articulating part of the shell of a mollusc or another multi-shelled animal such as brachiopods and some crustaceans.

See Fordilloidea and Valve (mollusc)

Watsonella

Watsonella is an extinct genus of mollusc known from early (Terreneuvian) Cambrian strata.
