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.

Canine tooth

In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dog teeth, fangs, or (in the case of those of the upper jaw) eye teeth, are relatively long, pointed teeth.

Dentition

Dentition pertains to the development of teeth and their arrangement in the mouth.

Diphyodont

A diphyodont is any animal with two successive sets of teeth, initially the "deciduous" set and consecutively the "permanent" set.

Incisor

Incisors (from Latin incidere, "to cut") are the front teeth present in most mammals.

Molar (tooth)

The molars or molar teeth are large, flat teeth at the back of the mouth.

Morphology (biology)

Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

Premolar

The premolar teeth, or bicuspids, are transitional teeth located between the canine and molar teeth.

Species

In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank, as well as a unit of biodiversity, but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition.

Synapsid

Synapsids (Greek, 'fused arch'), synonymous with theropsids (Greek, 'beast-face'), are a group of animals that includes mammals and every animal more closely related to mammals than to other living amniotes.
