Ascetoaxinus
''Ascetoaxinus'' is a genus of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Thyasiridae. The shells of species in this genus have a lunule with a scalloped margin. The genus was first described in 2014 by Graham Oliver of the National Museum of Wales and Melissa Frey, curator of invertebrates at the Royal British Columbia Museum Founded in 1886, the Royal British Columbia Museum (sometimes referred to as Royal BC Museum) consists of The Province of British Columbia's natural and human history museum as well as the British Columbia Provincial Archives.

Bivalve
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. 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, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other 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 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 swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...

Lucinida
Lucinida (formerly Lucinoida) is a taxonomic order of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. Families In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in by Bieler, Carter & Coan, revising the classification of the Bivalvia.Bieler, R., Carter, J.G. & Coan, E.V. (2010) ''Classification of Bivalve families''. Pp. 113-133, in: Bouchet, P. & Rocroi, J.P. (2010), ''Nomenclator of Bivalve Families. Malacologia'' 52(2): 1-184 Lucinoida (now Lucinida) thus became an order of its own. It includes the following two superfamilies: *Superfamily: Lucinoidea **Family: Lucinidae ** Family: † Mactromyidae ** Family: † Paracyclidae *Superfamily: Thyasiroidea **Family: Thyasiridae Thyasiridae is a family of bivalve molluscs, including the cleft clams, in the order Lucinida.
