Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans.

See Rostroconchia and Anatomical terms of location

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. Rostroconchia and Bivalvia are mollusc classes.

Cambrian

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

Class (biology)

In biological classification, class (classis) is a taxonomic rank, as well as a taxonomic unit, a taxon, in that rank.

Conocardium

Conocardium is an extinct genus of Rostroconchian mollusk.

See Rostroconchia and Conocardium

Exoskeleton

An exoskeleton (from Greek έξω éxō "outer" and σκελετός skeletós "skeleton") is a skeleton that is on the exterior of an animal in the form of hardened integument, which both supports the body's shape and protects the internal organs, in contrast to an internal endoskeleton (e.g.

Extinction

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

See Rostroconchia and Extinction

Lopingian

The Lopingian is the uppermost series/last epoch of the Permian.

See Rostroconchia and Lopingian

Mantle (mollusc)

The mantle (also known by the Latin word pallium meaning mantle, robe or cloak, adjective pallial) is a significant part of the anatomy of molluscs: it is the dorsal body wall which covers the visceral mass and usually protrudes in the form of flaps well beyond the visceral mass itself.

See Rostroconchia and Mantle (mollusc)

Mollusca

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

See Rostroconchia and Mollusca

Permian

The Permian is a geologic period and stratigraphic system which spans 47 million years from the end of the Carboniferous Period million years ago (Mya), to the beginning of the Triassic Period 251.902 Mya.

See Rostroconchia and Permian

Plankton

Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms that drift in water (or air) but are unable to actively propel themselves against currents (or wind).

See Rostroconchia and Plankton

Sedentary lifestyle

Sedentary lifestyle is a lifestyle type, in which one is physically inactive and does little or no physical movement and/or exercise.

See Rostroconchia and Sedentary lifestyle

Terreneuvian

The Terreneuvian is the lowermost and oldest series of the Cambrian geological system.

See Rostroconchia and Terreneuvian

Tusk shell

The tusk shells or tooth shells, technically the Scaphopoda (the scaphopods, from Ancient Greek σκᾰ́φης skáphē "boat" and πούς poús "foot"), are members of a class of shelled marine mollusc with worldwide distribution, and are the only class of exclusively infaunal marine molluscs. Rostroconchia and tusk shell are Conchifera.

See Rostroconchia and Tusk shell

Watsonella

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