Pulvinitidae
Pulvinitidae is a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Pteriida. These bivalves are related to the scallops and oysters. Originally believed to be extinct and known only from fossil records, non-fossil shells of members of this family were first discovered in 1913 by the Australian research vessel off the coast of Victoria Victoria most commonly refers to: * Victoria (Australia), a state of the Commonwealth of Australia * Victoria, British Columbia, provincial capital of British Columbia, Canada * Victoria (mythology), Roman goddess of Victory * Victoria, Seychelle .... Sixty years later, live specimens were finally discovered on the wing of a wrecked airplane at a depth of over 400 meters. Genera and species Genera and species within the family Pulvinitidae include: * '' Pulvinites'' de France 1824 ** '' Pulvinites adansoni'' de France 1824 ** '' Pulvinites antarctica'' ** '' Pulvinites argenteus'' ** '' Pulvinites dysporista'' ** '' Pulvinites e ...

Pteriida
The Pteriida are an order of large and medium-sized marine bivalve mollusks. It includes five families, among them the Pteriidae (pearl oysters and winged oysters). 2010 taxonomy In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published by Bieler, Carter & Coan, revising the classification of the Bivalvia, including the suborder Pteriida. *Superfamily Ambonychioidea **Family †Alatoconchidae **Family † Ambonychiidae **Family † Lunulacardiidae **Family † Monopteriidae **Family † Myalinidae **Family † Mysidiellidae **Family † Ramonalinidae *Superfamily Pinnoidea **Family Pinnidae *Superfamily † Posidonioidea Neumayr, 1891 **Family † Posidoniidae Neumayr, 1891 (Devonian to Cretaceous) **Family † Aulacomyellidae Ichikawa, 1958 **Family † Daonellidae Neumayr, 1891 **Family † Halobiidae Kittl, 1912 (Devonian to Triassic) *Superfamily Pterioidea **Family †Bakevelliidae (Triassic to Eocene) **Family †Cassianellidae (Middle to Late Tria ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

The ocean (also the sea or the world ocean) is the body of salt water that covers approximately 70.8% of the surface of Earth and contains 97% of Earth's water.
