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. |
