Spondylidae 海菊蛤科:This family is characterized by attaching to hard objects by the surface of right valve, which is generally larger and deeper than left valve. Shell is commonly medium or large-sized, having both auricles of similar size, without byssal gape is observed. Right valve has a triangular cardinal area. A pair of crural teeth developed on both sides of resilium pit. Disk of left valve (or both valves) ornamented with radial ribs of a few orders, on which significant spiny projections occur in most species. Outer layer consists of foliated calcite, and inner layer is wholly composed of crossed-lamellar aragonite. Soft part is essentially similar to that of the Pectinidae, but mantle margin lacks tentacles. |
