Pterioidea

Penguin-wing oyster Pteria penguin, from here.


Belongs within: Pterioida.

The Pterioidea are a group of byssally-attached bivalves with unequal valves, the left valve generally being distinctly more inflated than the right (Cox et al. 1969). Members of the Pteriidae, the feather oysters, usually have a characteristic triangular projection on either side of the straight hingeline. The Isognomonidae commonly possess the posterior wing of the shell but the anterior auricle is only rarely developed (Cox et al. 1969).

Characters (from Cox et al. 1969): Inequivalve, inequilateral, right valve generally less convex than left valve, markedly prosocline at least in juveniles with beaks situated well forward; ligament external, opisthodetic, variable otherwise; prismatonacreous or crossed lamellar, endostracum aragonitic, pallial line anteriorly discontinuous; characteristically byssate throughout life with byssal notch in right valve at least in juvenile stages.
