Pholadomyida
Anomalodesmata is an superorder of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. This grouping was formerly recognised as a taxonomic subclass. It is called a superorder in the current World Register of Marine Species, despite having no orders, to parallel it with sister taxon Imparidentia, which does have orders. Description The shells of species in this order are of equal size, as are the muscles that hold them closed, and the margins at the hinges are thickened. The margins of the mantle are also fused, and there is only a single hinge tooth, if any. Families In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in ''Malacologia'' by Bieler, Carter & Coan revising the classification of the Bivalvia, including the order Anomalodesmata.Bieler, R., Carter, J.G. & Coan, E.V.

Bivalve
Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class (biology), class of marine and freshwater Mollusca, molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the 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. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into Ctenidium (mollusc), ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can nekton, swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or ...

Lyonsiidae
Lyonsiidae is a family of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Anomalodesmata. Description Members of this family have inequivalve, oblong valves that are nearly equilateral. The right valve is more convex than the left, and there are usually no teeth. The ligament connecting the two valves is in an internal groove, and the hinge has a free ossicle.
