Bivalves
Bivalvia () or bivalves, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of aquatic molluscs (marine and freshwater) that have laterally compressed soft bodies enclosed by a calcified exoskeleton consisting of a hinged pair of half-shells known as valves. As a group, bivalves have no head and lack some typical molluscan organs such as the radula and the odontophore. Their gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Common bivalves include clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. Majority of the class are benthic filter feeders that bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as scallops and file shells, can swim. Shipworms bore into wood, clay, or ston ...

Myida
Myida (formerly Myoida) is an order (biology), order of saltwater and freshwater clams, marine (ocean), marine and freshwater bivalve molluscs in the subclass Heterodonta. The order includes such bivalves as soft-shell clams, geoducks and shipworms. Description They are burrowing molluscs with well-developed siphon (mollusc), siphons. The shell is relatively soft and lacks a nacreous layer. Some species have a single Hinge teeth, cardinal tooth. Superfamilies and families Superfamilies and families within the Myida include (the use of † indicate taxa that are extinct): * Superfamily: Dreissenoidea ** Family: Dreissenidae * Superfamily: Myoidea ** Family: Corbulidae ** Family: Myidae ** Family: †Pleurodesmatidae ** Family: †Raetomyidae * Superfamily: Pholadoidea ** Family: Pholadidae ** Family: Teredinidae ** Family: Xylophagaidae * Superfamily: †Pleuromyoidea ** Family: †Ceratomyidae ** Family: †Pleuromyidae ** Family: †Vacunellidae References * Arthur William Ba ...
