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.

See Solemyoidea and Bivalvia

Gill

A gill is a respiratory organ that many aquatic organisms use to extract dissolved oxygen from water and to excrete carbon dioxide.

See Solemyoidea and Gill

Hinge teeth

Hinge teeth are part of the anatomical structure of the inner surface of a bivalve shell, i.e. the shell of a bivalve mollusk.

See Solemyoidea and Hinge teeth

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Solemyoidea and Holotype

Solemya elarraichensis

Solemya elarraichensis is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Solemyidae.

See Solemyoidea and Solemya elarraichensis

Solemyidae

Solemyidae is a family of saltwater clams, marine protobranch bivalve mollusks in the order Solemyida.

See Solemyoidea and Solemyidae

Taxonomic rank

In biology, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy.

See Solemyoidea and Taxonomic rank

Valve (mollusc)

A valve is each articulating part of the shell of a mollusc or another multi-shelled animal such as brachiopods and some crustaceans.
