Bivalve
Bivalvia () or bivalves, in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class (biology), class of aquatic animal, aquatic molluscs (marine and freshwater) that have laterally compressed soft bodies enclosed by a calcified exoskeleton consisting of a hinged pair of half-bivalve shell, shells known as valve (mollusc), 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 ctenidium (mollusc), ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Common bivalves include clams, oysters, Cockle (bivalve), cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other family (biology), 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 h ...

Laternula Elliptica
''Laternula elliptica'' is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Laternulidae, the lantern shells. It is the largest bivalve found under the surface of the seabed in the Southern Ocean. Discovery The species was first described in 1832 by the captain of HMS Adventure, Phillip Parker King, and the English naturalist, William Broderip, having been discovered during the first exploration of the South American coastline in HMS Beagle. The title of the paper they published read "''Description of Cirrhipedia, Conchifera and Mollusca, in a collection formed by the officers of H.M.S. Adventure and Beagle employed between the years 1826 and 1830 in surveying the southern coasts of South America, including the Straits of Magalhaens and the coast of Tierra del Fuego.''" Description The shell of ''Laternula elliptica'' is thin, brittle, and slightly inflated and grows to a length of . The left valve is slightly larger and more convex than the right. The ...

Laternulidae
Laternulidae, common name lantern clams, is a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Anomalodesmata. Description Members of this family have thin, brittle shells that have an elongated oval shape. The valves are white with concentric sculpturing, low umbones, and a gap at both ends. The left valve is slightly larger and more convex than the right valve. The ligament is internal and there are no teeth on the hingeline. The interior of the valve is subnacreous, there are two adductor muscle scars and the pallial line has a broad pallial sinus. The siphons are long and fused for their full length. The mantle margins are also fused except for a small gap at the anterior end. Genera and species * '' Clistoconcha'' E.A. Smith, 1910 ** '' Clistoconcha insignis'' E.A.
