The Bivalvia are one of the main subgroups of the molluscs, readily distinguished from other classes by the division of the shell into two hinged lateral valves. Bivalves also lack a developed head, and mostly feed by filtering organic particles from the water (with some notable exceptions). In members of the clade Autolamellibranchiata, the gills are enlarged and folded within the mantle cavity to function in filter-feeding. More basal bivalve lineages have the gills as simple non-reflected lamellae that function for respiration only, with the labial palps as the main food-collecting organs. The valves of the shell are commonly connected at the hinge by a series of interlocking teeth; in basal bivalves, these teeth are all largely similar to each other but members of the clade Heteroconchia are characterised by the presence of a heterodont hinge with more or less differentiated cardinal and lateral teeth (Giribet & Wheeler 2002).
The earliest fossils that have been assigned to the bivalves come from the Early and Middle Cambrian, and include the genera
Fordilla,
Pojetaia and
Arhouiella (Budd & Jensen 2000). These are small forms, only a few millimetres in length, that may have had a burrowing lifestyle similar to that of the modern Nuculidae (Morton 2012).
Fordilla and
Pojetaia both have laterally compressed, subequally valved and suboval shells with few teeth in the hinge.

Pig's toes and water nymphs.
Characters (from Giribet & Wheeler 2002): Body laterally compressed with an external bivalved shell that is hinged dorsally. Valves connected by a partially calcified elastic ligament and held together by 1 or 2 adductor muscles. Buccal or radular apparatus absent, mantle lobes either joined or free ventrally. Mantle cavity spacious, extending upwards on each side of visceral mass and containing a pair of laterally suspended ctenidia. Ctenidia may be enlarged, lamellate and plicate. Mouth and anus located at opposite ends of body, gut typically convoluted. Pair of ciliated labial palps connecting ctenidia to the mouth, directing food particles into it. Foot extensible, either elongated or laterally compressed.
