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.
Clam
Clam is a common name for several kinds of bivalve molluscs.
Dentition
Dentition pertains to the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth.
Devonian
The Devonian is a geologic period and system of the Paleozoic era during the Phanerozoic eon, spanning 60.3 million years from the end of the preceding Silurian period at million years ago (Ma), to the beginning of the succeeding Carboniferous period at Ma.
Family (biology)
Family (familia,: familiae) is one of the nine major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy.
See Trigoniida and Family (biology)
Fossil
A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.
Geologic time scale
The geologic time scale or geological time scale (GTS) is a representation of time based on the rock record of Earth.

Holocene
The Holocene is the current geological epoch, beginning approximately 11,700 years ago.
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck
Jean-Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet, chevalier de Lamarck (1 August 1744 – 18 December 1829), often known simply as Lamarck, was a French naturalist, biologist, academic, and soldier.

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

Megatrigoniidae
Megatrigoniidae is an extinct family of fossil saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the subclass Palaeoheterodonta. Trigoniida and Megatrigoniidae are Prehistoric bivalve stubs.

Mollusca
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals, after Arthropoda; members are known as molluscs or mollusks.
Ocean
The ocean is the body of salt water that covers approx.
Taxonomic rank
In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.
